The Internet Archive, a nonprofit digital library website, is beginning to come back online after a data breach and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, prompting a week of its systems going offline.
Founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle, the archive offers users free access to a historical Web collection, known as the Wayback Machine. This including access to more than 150 billion webpages, nearly 250,000 movies, 500,000 audio items, and more.
This free access to these seemingly unlimited resources all came to a halt on Oct. 9, when hackers stole and leaked the account information of a reported 31 million users.
