"It was discovered by a member of the mod team today that an article archived by archive.today had injected malware links into the archived article."

Idk, maybe this is just a typo, but grammatically this is saying the article injected the links.

Go to https://archive.ph/jXv3A#selection-5079.208-5079.212 Click on "Filed on Tuesday" and it will redirect you to a site telling you to download something.

(To be fair, that isn't the only redirect so you might need to click it a few times.)

Thanks, that's pretty much all I was looking for. Was able to reproduce but then started getting 429s.

I reproduced it too but was hoping to get a log, now all I get is 429 as well.

Just for the sake of preserving what I did see, the URL linked in the text was:

    https://archive.ph/o/jXv3A/https://schenklawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/wan-v-openai-complaint.pdf
and that now seems to have been purged from the archive.today cache, as this page says "No results":

https://archive.ph/https://schenklawfirm.com/wp-content/uplo...

You get 429 if you visit the link directly. Not sure what mechanism is used to tell that, doesn't seem to be the referrer though. This does the refresh to the malware site:

Interesting. Same behavior here with a generic User-Agent and no Cookie header at all.

Response headers mention an onion-location and link to stolidityseashellshotter... but also mementoweb... pretty strange. Most generously, maybe some kind of cache poison instead of explicit bad behavior?
