The VHS Wizard 🦝📼🧙

Archive has more knowledge in one single place than anywhere else in the world, it getting hacked "for the lulz" is like The Smithsonian getting broken into and having someone rummage around in the exhibits.

Yes, it's not ideal that they got personal data, but I feel like we're really burying the lead here.

Because I can change my password, and everybody ought to be doing that all the time anyway. But if the archived version of a web page from 2002 is gone, it's gone forever.

Or worse yet, what if they altered some of the stuff that's been archived. Might take forever to find changes that were made, depending on the scope and the amount of access that they have.
