The Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive are currently experiencing a widespread outage, displaying a “temporarily offline” message for many users attempting to access web.archive.org or archive.org.

According to Downdetector, reports of outages began pouring in at around 3:00 am UTC.  Although the Internet Archive (archive.org) seems to be accessible again, the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) is down globally, with users encountering a stark warning that directs them to check official social media accounts like Twitter/X, Bluesky or Mastodon for updates.  However, no updates have been posted as of yet.

This outage follows a recent major internet disruption on November 18, 2025, involving Cloudflare, and comes just days after the Internet Archive celebrated its one trillionth archived web page.

The cause of the current downtime is not yet confirmed.  The platform was hit with a DDoS attack in October 2024 that compromised 31 million user records.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit.
