What we know: DDOS attack–fended off for now; defacement of our website via JS library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords.

What we’ve done: Disabled the JS library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security.

Will share more as we know it. 

Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked archive.org and openlibrary.org offline.
@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.

Will share more as we know it.

until the dying record labels bankrupt them. And the labels actually have legit claims in their almost $1bil suit. Is archive an actual library? Libraries buy a copy of a CD and lend it out but there are so many copyrighted albums on archive to listen to free. This is hanging over archive.

......aaaand they're back down again.  Don't think it's from an attack, there is much larger traffic than usual - attributed to people downloading shows and streaming (or trying to rip streams).
