According to the article some org called SN_blackmeta claimed and a Google search seems to suggest they are a pro Palestinian group based out of Russia with makes zero sense so I’m gonna go with random Russian cunts are doing it, but you might be right as well with corpos mad about IA Edit: the article -> https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/9/24266419/internet-archive-ddos-attack-pop-up-message

That group description reeks of "Russian plants placed to make the pro-Palestine crowd look bad" not gonna lie - especially since a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group would have a sum total of 0 reasons to target IA (and be cocky dicks about it)

Plenty of pro-Palestine protesters have targeted allies (or at least uninvolved third parties) in real life, ie attacking pride parades, so unfortunately I don't see why being on the internet would make things any different. Some people are just desperate to be heard and habitually pick the worst possible way to convince others to listen. Not ruling out intentional shit-disturbers but it's never only that.

Without knowing specifics, I'm going to assume the "attack pride parades" bit is the people protesting against corporatized pride parades that are heavily sponsored by genocide-funding corporations.

Kinda repeating yourself here.
