Her story seems unlikely. Time, however, will tell.

I don't know if Reid was hacked or not, but I can certainly see why she would be targeted. Garrett78 Apr 2018 #19

There would only be a wedge if there was a significant pro- and anti- Reid constituency... brooklynite Apr 2018 #21

Not true. The potential wedge (even if it was merely a media invention) would be... Garrett78 Apr 2018 #24

Most people of color and most LGBTQ people have no idea who Reid is brooklynite Apr 2018 #33

So what? peabody Apr 2018 #40

Great point, peabody.. I was thinking Cha Apr 2018 #102

Thanks! It's disgusting peabody Apr 2018 #108

They have their own agenda.. starting with glenn greenwald.. Cha Apr 2018 #119

And you know this how? Hekate Apr 2018 #44

Yeah, that was a rather bold claim. Blue_true Apr 2018 #53

Do you have any empirical evidence to back this claim up? tia uponit7771 Apr 2018 #56

Again, that doesn't matter. Garrett78 Apr 2018 #65

Why would it matter if she was popular or not? peabody Apr 2018 #25

You may be underestimating... Whiskeytide Apr 2018 #30

Your premise--which is that she's a nobody & nobody would waste time hacking-- ecstatic Apr 2018 #31

If you read that paper, spoofing requires the attacker to have access to the original server Azathoth Apr 2018 #43

Here ya go, in case you're interested. But it sounds like ecstatic Apr 2018 #60

Unlike you, I'm not 100% confident either way Azathoth Apr 2018 #75

+1 uponit7771 Apr 2018 #58

And that's *now*. Almost no one knew who she was back in 2006 when she was allegedly hacked Azathoth Apr 2018 #32

Why do you continue to assert the hack was in 2006? OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #64

From the statement: "At no time has Ms. Reid claimed that the Wayback machine was hacked" Azathoth Apr 2018 #74

It is their assertion that the blog was hacked. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #77

There is no evidence of a supposed "breach" at the Wayback Machine Azathoth Apr 2018 #78

Please cite the claim that the hack occurred in 2006. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #85

Yawn Azathoth Apr 2018 #89

You've got nothing, then? OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #93

I'm not the only poster pointing out the obvious to you Azathoth Apr 2018 #95

Why are you still arguing with me? OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #109

Nice shift into baiting Azathoth Apr 2018 #113

Yeah, but those pages are in the Internet Archive. they were archived in 2006. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #84

I specifically stated that I take no position as to the validity of their claim. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #90

They have to be asserting it. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #91

I don't know what they're asserting. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #103

Except they've said they aren't claiming that the archive was hacked. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #105

They also said that that the timestamps were altered. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #110

They've made no such claim relating to the Internet Archive or LOC archive Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #111

That's right. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #115

That makes their assertions nonsense Spider Jerusalem Apr 2018 #116

And once again Azathoth Apr 2018 #106

It doesn't matter to them Azathoth Apr 2018 #92
