Archive.today Under Fire: DDoS Abuse, Hidden Traffic & a Dangerous Lack of Accountability

Archive.today is one of the most widely used web archiving platforms on the internet — but recent investigations have raised serious concerns about how it operates behind the scenes. Technical analysis and community reporting show that archive.today executed repeated automated requests against a third-party blog, behavior consistent with a DDoS-style traffic flood. These requests originated from client-side JavaScript and continued automatically, creating sustained load on an external website without permission. This incident has drawn attention because of archive.today’s massive scale and its opaque ownership structure. The platform is operated by an anonymous Russian individual, with limited transparency, no public accountability, and a long history of unanswered questions from journalists and developers. In this video, we examine: • The documented DDoS-style behavior and how it functioned • Why this kind of traffic is dangerous for independent websites • The risks of abusive code running on a major archiving platform • Community reactions from developers and security professionals • Why archive.today’s anonymity and jurisdiction raise red flags 🔎 Sources & investigations: Hacker News discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46624740 Lobsters thread: https://lobste.rs/s/z0mdor/archive_today_i...
