    What kind of people target the Internet Archive? I don’t have an X account so does anyone know what the hackers’ mission statement is?

      There was a DDoS but it’s a separate attack from what I read

    The only reason I can think of to get that data is to circumvent archive.org’s limitations on renting out stuff so your bots can slurp books without getting throttled.

    That is, my best guess is that this was pirates seeing if they can’t add to libgen.

    Or it’s a “prove you can do stuff” kind of deal.
