This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.
This message here in particular is not looking state funded if you ask me. Gaining access to zendesk tickets is a vulnerability which was published a few weeks/months ago and is not difficult at all.
Yes, and IA was super prompt at patching that, because they have such a big team, who also get paid corporate wages and get all sorts of benefits. And, of course, all of them have nothing better to do... because maintaining that infrastructure and code is a piece of cake and is super easy.
I don't know about state funded, but corporations really, really hate IA for a lot of reasons.
Like keeping old versions of their software for one... or source code leaked or deleted for one reason or another... and other info of course.
I use it regularly to link to source files or packages long deleted, but I still use them for one thing or another.
I'm sorry, there is a .yachts TLD?
