Per their error message, “See 31 million of you on HIBP!”
If anyone can provide a slightly more up-to-date souce (their X post, for example) I’d appreciate it

Most attacks aren’t targeted. They hit anyone they can.
Yeah, I’ve see people speculating that it could be some corporate hit-job on behalf of book publishers, and I get it, that exotic possibility is attractive, but reality is usually much more mundane. It’s likely to just be some randos doing it for the lulz and IA was vulnerable for whatever reason. Book publishers have sadly been enjoying plenty of success in court against IA. They don’t need to get their hands dirty.
Brother this message is very targeted.
The one in the post? I think that’s from the Internet Archive themselves.
Yes, the one in the post that is most certainly not from IA themselves.
I wonder if HIBP is also compromised, that would be a 5-head level play.
