I have no idea, but there is a 4 minute video that explains the news as of October 10.

Video summary:
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine was hit by hackers recently with DDoS attacks, a data breach, and vandalism on its website. Over 31 million accounts were compromised and the Wayback Machine has been temporarily taken offline.
