DDoS hit blog that tried to uncover Archive.today founder's identity in 2023.

DDoS hit blog that tried to uncover Archive.today founder’s identity in 2023. […] A Tumblr blog post apparently written by the Archive.today founder seems to generally confirm the emails’ veracity, but says the original version threatened to create “a patokallio.gay dating app,” not “a gyrovague.gay dating app.”

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Archive-today-Operator-uses-users-for-DDoS-attack-11171455.html:

By having Archive.today unknowingly let users access the Finnish blogger’s URL, their IP addresses are transmitted to him. This could be a point of attack for prosecuting copyright infringements.

    I would go for something like A - B - A:

    • hide the links so the ddos gets migitated, and start replacing the links where possible
    • when the malicious code is gone, reinstate the links, deprecate .today, dont stop replacing the links
    • when the links in the most commonly requested articles are gone, hide the rest while it waits for replacement.

    but i’m no wikipedian, just someone who likes reading talk pages lol
