Around 11 January 2026, archive.today inserted malicious JavaScript code in its CAPTCHA page to involve visitors in a DDoS attack against Gyrovague. Over the following weeks, the archive.today blog posted public criticisms of Patokallio, accusing him of doxing the website’s operator, and engaged in personal attacks against him. Emails released by Patokallio include archive.today threatening him with AI pornography.
