Internet Archive Services Update. (blog.archive.org)

In recovering from recent cyberattacks on October 8, the Internet Archive has resumed the Wayback Machine (starting October 13) and Archive-It (October 17), and as of today (October 21), has begun offering provisional availability of archive.org in a read-only manner.

Features like uploading, borrowing, reviewing items, interlibrary loan, and other services are not yet available.

Please note that these services will have limited availability as we continue maintenance.

Hackers disclosed archive.org email and encrypted passwords to a transparency website, and also sent emails to patrons by exploiting a 3rd party helpdesk system.

I had no idea how much I enjoyed LibreVox (which - at least for the things I am interested in - goes to archive.org for downloads) and OpenLibrary until I couldn't access them. This morning, still no go on either.

I had no idea I even relied on them until they were down. My favorite podcast hosts through them and I had to find a workaround.
