Disappointing but not that surprising; it's been banned from Wikipedia for months because it was enlisting viewers' computers in a DDoS against an investigative journalist for trying to figure out who was behind it. But it's the only way I've found to access a lot of information that is otherwise lost. So, what do we do?

I think there is a confusion of blogger with a registered journalist, who must follow journalist's (ethic) rules.

Weren't they also caught modifying their "archived" content?

You keep using it as normal and if it tells you to copy and paste commands into your terminal you DO NOT do it?
