The Internet Archive has been slowly coming back online after the attacks and has resumed some services, including its website archive called the Wayback Machine. But its vast inventory of data, which is comprised of countless books, software, images, videos, audio, and even the digital archives of the island nation of Aruba, remains inaccessible.

The Internet Archive has suffered an email hack while working to restore services impacted by the recent cyberattacks.

News of the DDoS attack (which stands for “Distributed Denial of Service”) broke on October 9, when users attempting to access the Wayback Machine were met with a JavaScript alert that read: “Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is constantly on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach?

The digital library's website was defaced earlier this month with a message boasting its theft of Internet Archive users' sensitive records. The nonprofit said it's working to bolster security.

Hackers who breached the Internet Archive earlier this month continue to exploit the organization’s security vulnerabilities, now using exposed Zendesk access tokens to send unauthorized email blasts.
