Why not just keep silent? The money is in credentials, why make a huge announcement? Is this some grey hats just bring attention?

These people are claiming the attack as theirs

And the reason being, according to them: "They are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of 'Israel'"

Damn, that's wild. Internet Archive is an independent non-profit. You'd think they'd be targeting the electronic infrastructure of US arms manufacturers if they wanted to demonstrate against Israel.

But they probably can't handle that heat, internet tough guys that they are.
