A cybersecurity expert, Jason Meller, confirmed that it seems the attackers exfiltrated the database of Internet Archive, meaning they could obtain control over its back-end infrastructure. Moreover, website defacement indicates that the attackers have some degree of control over the content served to users.
In another statement, Jake Moore, security consultant at ESE said that it may be technically impossible to hack the past, but hijacking the Internet Archive is the closest thing we’ve been here so far. The Internet Archive, he said, should remind users to keep unique passwords because even encrypted ones can be cross-referenced against previous uses.
