Internet Archive is back online in a read-only state after a cyberattack brought down the digital library and Wayback Machine last week .

A data breach and DDoS attack kicked the site offline on October 9th , with a user authentication database containing 31 million unique records also stolen.

Services have been offline so staff can examine and strengthen them against future attacks.
