If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.
original, saw this somewhere else too. ddos stuff. this one blames ru for archive.today mess. sounds about right. didn’ intend it to look like an announcement here. it kind of did. post based on ars story, apparently. who knows
Who cares why they did it?
It proves they can and do alter the “archived” website, so it’s usefulness as a source is completely gone.
Archiving a site inherently requires altering it, to change embed URLs, scripts, etc. The fact they had that capability was never in question.
