The Internet Archive has faced a series of cyberattacks, including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) incidents and a data breach that exposed 31 million user records. These attacks disrupted key services such as the Wayback Machine and Open Library. While the stolen data included usernames and hashed passwords, the use of the secure Bcrypt algorithm reduces the risk of password compromise. In response, the nonprofit has bolstered its cybersecurity measures and is working to protect its data, prioritizing security over service availability.
