But what's really interesting is the motivations.
1. Why now, after 2 years?
2. Why run a DDoS, and yet defend Jani in the comments?: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46629823
3. Why register for a forum using your "name" to draw attention to a DDoS being ran by *your own site*?
This seems like a ploy for attention. Perhaps the FBI has finally found him and Masha wants to go out on his own terms?: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/11/fbi-subpoena-tries-to-unmask-mysterious-founder-of-archive-today/
Perhaps Masha is a fake name and the real name leaked so he wants to publicize Masha? 🧵

@eb@social.coop I can't answer #2 and #3, but I emailed the owner and asked why they waiting 3 years, and they gave the fairly strange response that since the person/people mentioned in the article recently became EU citizens, the blog post now violated GDPR. Even taking that at face value, it doesn't really explain why they chose to launch a DDoS attack. https://infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/115905994565109535 Just out of curiosity, do you know Jani Patokallio?
