The stored data of the Internet Archive is safe and we are working on resuming services safely. This new reality requires heightened attention to cyber security and we are responding. We apologize for the impact of these library services being unavailable.
The Wayback Machine, Archive-It, scanning, and national library crawls have resumed, as well as email, blog, helpdesk, and social media communications. Our team is working around the clock across time zones to bring other services back online. In coming days more services will resume, some starting in read-only mode as full restoration will take more time.
We’re taking a cautious, deliberate approach to rebuild and strengthen our defenses. Our priority is ensuring the Internet Archive comes online stronger and more secure.
As a library community, we are seeing other cyber attacks—for instance the British Library, Seattle Public Library, Toronto Public Library, and now Calgary Public Library. We hope these attacks are not indicative of a trend.

Ummm…that’s the definition of a trend.
I think they mean in the sense that this is something coordinated against libraries in general.
It absolutely is. This is a continuation of conservatisms culture war on truth and intellectualism.
Very likely, but I think it’s correct of them to not come right out and say that without direct evidence. And I would not be at all surprised if they’re trying very hard to find that evidence.
