 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Internet Archive. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2024. |
On October 9, 2024, the Internet Archive, a creative works library and archival website, suffered a distributed denial-of-service attack that rendered the website unusable.[1][2][3] 31 million Internet Archive users accounts have been affected by the attack.[4]
On October 13, 2024, the Wayback Machine was put back up, albeit in a "provisional, read-only manner".[5] The other websites managed by the Internet Archive, including OpenLibrary.org, remain down as of October 18, 2024.[6][failed verification]
