Notorious 'Archive Today' website allegedly leads bizarre DDoS campaign against security blogger — Wikipedia considers removing all links to the Archive

The operator of Archive Today is accused of running a DDoS campaign against a security blogger's website, prompting Wikipedia to consider removing all links to the Archive. The dispute allegedly stems from a blog post investigation in 2023. The Archive's tactics include using JavaScript to trigger attacks and bypassing paywalls to archive content, leading to potential legal concerns. The situation has escalated, with ad-blocking plugins indirectly blocking the DDoS. The Archive's practices and ongoing conflict with the blogger have raised questions about its operations and impact on online content preservation.
