Wayback Machine running strong (yippie!).
Still working to bring archive.org items & other services online safely.
@internetarchive team spirits high, but tired.
The @internetarchive’s Wayback Machine resumed in a provisional, read-only manner.
Sorry, no Save Page Now yet.
Safe to resume but might need further maintenance, in which case it will be suspended again.
Please be gentle web.archive.org/
More as it happens.
@waybackmachine volume is back to normal: 1,500 requests per second.
Sorry we don't have other services yet. (Your good wishes have helped a good team @internetarchive )
more as it happens.
Archive.org sub services coming back up when they can, safely. e.g. Email working.
Now contract crawls for National Libraries (important to make keep collections whole)
Thank you for the patience. More as it happens.
The data is safe.
Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard.
Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks.
Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set).
Update: @internetarchive’s data has not been corrupted. Services are currently stopped to upgrade internal systems.
We are working to restore services as quickly and safely as possible.
Sorry for this disruption.
What we know: DDOS attack–fended off for now; defacement of our website via JS library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords.
What we’ve done: Disabled the JS library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security.
Will share more as we know it.
Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked archive.org and openlibrary.org offline.
@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.
Will share more as we know it.
Yesterday's DDOS attack on @internetarchive repeated today. We are working to bring archive.org back online.
DDOS on a tuesday? Last time it was a monday. Geez.
@internetarchive is working to restore services on archive.org.
For the love of books (and for the love of the @internetarchive ) I bid on one of these prints. Thank you @molly0xFFF

Prince of Persia lives! I play it every week on the Internet Archive tour-- sad to say, I am not getting much better.
Thank you @jmechner !
