DCMA would not work here since they are hosting a copy of it for archival purposes, and not claiming copyright. The original public URL is included.
Archive.org does respect robots.txt tho. It is possible to completely delete a site's history on Archive.org by modifying the robots.txt (at least in the past, not sure if that is the case now)

Direct link - https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T5d2/reports/2024...
From the title, it seemed that Verizon had published a postmortem of a recent data breach incident they had
the "direct link" expires and becomes the page attempting to harvest your personal info, unfortunately.
Apologies, did not know verizon was incapable of correctly hosting a PDF. Should have archived it to wayback machine
Did it just now:

Link not working. They are doing something weird with the PDF
That's super bizarre. I manually verified that the url worked after I archived it.
I wonder if the do some kind of DCMA thing automatically for urls on their website, to have them removed from the wayback machine?
Yeah it's working now, very weird indeed.

Wow. I tested the link after your comment and it was broken for me at that time as well.
So the link really does seem to have flip-flopped between working and non-working a few times.
Sound like some kind of weirdness in the archive.org infrastructure might be causing it.
It's working now!
dang, could you correct this URL?
Looks like this link also redirects to the intake screen and not the PDF, now. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T60a/reports/2024... appears to be the latest direct link.
This, too, now harvests info.
Well, I'm cancelling my services with them. This is disgusting.
Won't do much but make me feel better, and save money. With the internet I never use my phone. Time to deal with the liability I guess.
