Comment on Ask HN: Is archive.today/is/md/etc. compromised?

Comments

It always gave me a sketchy vibe, I try to rely on the Internet Archive whenever possible.

(Some publishers whitelist their bot, since it is used for scholarly citations -- I'm not clear how a reviewer would review to an archive.is link and despite having been out of academia for a decade, old habits die hard.)

Also, how are you accessing the site? Are you sure the error stems from the destination?

I've never had what you describe happen but I have had some... interesting... errors pop up when doing OSINT in Tor.

(Ex: a SSL_ERROR_UNSAFE_NEGOTIATION when attempting to access the copy of a search warrant that was served on a state senator from a government website specifically set up to make such documents available.)
