Internet Archive is back up as read-only after data breach
The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine is back up in read-only mode following massive data breaches last week.
Brewster Kahle, founder and digital librarian of the Internet Archive, posted an update on Monday morning on X (formerly Twitter) announcing the site’s return in a “provisional manner.”
“Safe to resume but might need further maintenance, in which case it will be suspended again,” he wrote. “Please be gentle.”

Kahle wrote the site will not yet reinstate its “Save Page Now” feature, which archives the page as it currently appears and generates a permanent URL.

The non-profit site keeps saved versions of websites and other forms of digital media, accessible to anyone through its platform The Wayback Machine.
