Would be nice if the hackers targeted organizations actually involved in the conflict, not the internet archive, but what do I know? I guess any publicity is good publicity in their eyes.

Why did they attack the good guys?

If you read the article, the link to pro pali groups is pure conjecture. The supposed link is just that the hackers used a service that pro pali hackers may have also used at some point.

Why not a Fight Club inspired hack and wipe out everyone’s debt instead?

Nothing screams “I’m helping Palestine!!” like attacking a totally innocuous and universally liked site like the internet archive.

This is the equivalent of attacking a hospital or a library. What the fuck is wrong with you. Just wait till the furry hackers wake up and rip them a new one.

They think this is going to garner support for their cause. Instead, this is just pissing people off and more likely to cause people to care less about their cause.

There was something archived on wayback that could have hurt someone powerful very badly and they wanted it gone… no other explanation for a random hack of a public archive. It serves no other purpose than to archive. No political entity gains from this. This was to cover something.

“This group claims to be pro palestinian and it’s entirely based on Russia.
SN_BLACKMETA has operated its Telegram channel since November 2023, boasting of DDoS incidents and cyberattacks on infrastructure in Israel, the Palestinian Territories and elsewhere. While all of the group’s messages focus on the Palestinian Territories and perceived opponents to Palestine, many of its posts are written in Russian.
The group’s account on X also shows that it was created by someone in Staraya, a town in Novgorod Oblast, Russia. The account’s initial language was also set to Russian.
The researchers added that analysis of timestamps and activity patterns showed possible evidence that the actors within the group are operating in a timezone “close to Moscow Standard Time (MSK, UTC+3) or other Middle Eastern or Eastern European time zones (UTC+2 to UTC+4).”
Attacks include pro palestine sites and groups, so take that “pro palestine” with a grain of salt.”

Who hired them, Sony?
