BlackMeta is a hacktivist group that claimed responsibility for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against the Internet Archive in 2024 and stated it planned additional attacks. Reporting cited an X account, SN_Blackmeta, as claiming involvement and referencing prior DDoS activity against the Internet Archive in May. In the cited incident, the Internet Archive experienced intermittent DDoS attacks that disrupted services while also dealing with a separate breach and website defacement via a JavaScript library; however, the available content states that the actor behind the underlying data breach was unknown, and only attributes the DDoS activity to BlackMeta. Known alias/account referenced in the content: SN_Blackmeta.
