"Internet Archive Disrupted by Sustained and 'Mean' DDoS Attack"

The Internet Archive has been hit with Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The non-profit research library offers free access to millions of historical documents, preserved websites, and media content. Since May 26, the site has received tens of thousands of fake information requests per second, forcing it offline intermittently for the past three days. The DDoS attacks have also impacted access to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine that preserves the history of over 866 billion web pages. This article continues to discuss the DDoS attacks on the Internet Archive and other recent cyberattacks faced by public libraries.
