@eb@social.coop *sigh* I use archive.today quite a bit. Don't have time right now to find someone else that will do what I need, so at least for the time being I'm going to blackhole gyrovague.com on all my devices to prevent it from doing any damage on my account.
It's interesting that the DDoS code is (apparently) only on the CAPTCHA page, since archive.today doesn't always display its CAPTCHA page. Why didn't they put it on every page? Hmm.

@jik@federate.social my best guess is that the captcha page just isn't something people think to inspect. it is a very brief page the user will only ever encounter on a journey, a page that they strive to move through as efficiently as possible. Furthermore it *looks* like a cloudflare captcha so users are very familiar with it (it is not a cloudflare page).
