Confused about this breach... I received a notification from HIBP about this hack, but I don't recall ever creating an account on archive.org (was creating an account there even a thing?).
What info does archive.org have on people? Is this info scraped from other websites and stored in the archive.org database? Or is this info related to personal archive.org accounts (as I said I don't recall making an account)?
- floam 2y agoThey are actual archive.org accounts. Maybe you made an account to upload something, or to check out a digitized book from their library?
- lordfrito 2y agoThank you.. was worried at first as I didn't understand the true scope of the breach. For such a vital website, the info gleaned seems relatively harmless (for those of us who don't reuse passwords that is)
- db48x 2y agoYea, it is pretty harmless. I suppose someone might be interested in any books you currently have checked out, but beyond that there isn't much.
