Internet Archive and Wayback Machine have been facing DDoS cyberattacks for the last few days. The non-profit assured that collections are safe despite the service being inconsistent since Sunday.
The way it breaks utility is in the inability to read from the service. If that goes away for long enough, the Archive will die.
It would be crazy expensive to run an attack of this size for years.
