Internet Archive got hacked again because they didn't rotate the API keys that were exposed in the previous breach. Cloudflare literally got hacked earlier this year due to the exact same act of laziness.
Unfortunately, "They lacked due care" will be written on the tombstone of the Internet Archive. Not sure it makes it to 2026 at this rate.

@Forestofenchantment I like Cloudflare, but you would think that engineers who are that smart would take care of such a thing.
@Forestofenchantment tfw we could have lost the Internet archive years earlier, but nobody had enough of a grudge to knock over their house of cards
