@vathpela @jarkko @textfiles I've received a HIBP email notification of breach. From what I've seen it's legit.

@illtud @vathpela @textfiles i'd figure that archive.org has pretty good backup strategy because it is an archive :-) and it is public information to begin with so not much collateral can be done.

makes me wonder who would waste time on it tbh...

@jarkko @vathpela @textfiles apologies that I've taken so long to reply.
One thing to realise about hacking to get credentials is that whatever the value of the hacked site, and I agree that IA may not have valuable non-public content, account credentials have value. They're used for credential stuffing, as many (most?) people use the same password across low-value and higher-value services.

Please people, use a unique password per service.
