Yeah, what kind of hacktivist group would go against Internet Archive? Not activists for good at least.
Edit: according to another article they are a pro-Palestinian group. Still not sure about their motives for Internet Archive.
BlackMeta, also known as SN_BlackMeta, appeared in November 2023 and has a history of claiming responsibility for attacks against organizations in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. In May, the group claimed responsibility for a multiday denial-of-service attack on the San Francisco-based Internet Archive. In April, the group claimed to have attacked the Israel-based infrastructure of the Orange Group, a French provider of telecommunication services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The group also targeted organizations in Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.
Archives work against information control. “Who controls the present now controls the past”. They wouldn’t like archived versions of things get in the way of their very, very expensive narratives they are pushing, now would they?
hmm, a faux hacktivist group certainly would be an excellent and easy way for an intelligence agency to try and redirect anger. hypothetically speaking, of course.
