About this episode

The Internet Archive, a non-profit organization that digitally stores and archives various types of content, including websites, books, and movies, was recently hacked, compromising the data of 31 million users. The breach included user emails and password hashes, raising concerns about the potential for these credentials to be used for malicious purposes, particularly on other websites. The Reddit post you provided explores the ramifications of the hack, with users expressing a mixture of anger, concern, and speculation about the motives behind the attack. Some users believe the attack was carried out by state-sponsored actors who want to silence dissenting voices or control the narrative, while others speculate that copyright-holding entities, such as publishers or entertainment companies, may have been behind the hack.
