From Wikipedia itself:

In January 2026, the maintainers of Archive.today inserted malicious code in order to perform a distributed denial of service attack against a person they were in dispute with. Every time a user encounters the CAPTCHA page, their internet connection is used to attack a certain individual's blog. This obviously raises significant concerns for readers' safety, as well as the long-term stability and integrity of the service. The JavaScript code which causes this is still live on the website. However, a significant amount of people also think that mass-removing links to Archive.today may harm verifiability, and that the service is harder to censor than certain other archiving sites. As of 19 February 2026, the malicious code remains active. It is highly recommended not to visit the archive without blocking network requests to gyrovague.com to avoid being part of the attack.
