Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens

> "It's dispiriting to see that even after being made aware of the breach weeks ago, IA has still not done the due diligence of rotating many of the API keys that were exposed in their gitlab secrets," reads an email from the threat actor.

With everything that’s going on, it’s highly suspicious that this is happening right after they upset some very rich rent seekers.

Absolutely moronic and unbased implication. The “rent-seekers” won their case and have zero interest in being implicated in dumb palace-intrigue style hacking. I mean, fuck those guys, but to bring up allegations like that is big stupid.

You don’t think you’re being a bit harsh here?

Conspiracy theorists exhaust many.

That makes no sense.

The fact that they won their case gives even greater cause in ensuring that what they want goes through. Doesn't mean they have to be classy about it, or that Internet-based means of sabotage are impossible implications (given that the IA literally is about putting things up on the Internet that some want to be taken down).

Who are "they"? And who are the "very rich rent seekers"?

Which is why they will continue their attack through the court system until they get everything they want, up to and including shutting down the archive for good. There's zero reason for them to risk being implicated in a crime when their opponent is already down for the count.
