A few days ago the worldwide-famous online library Archive.org was hacked. The malicious action resulted in more than 31 million of users data being exposed to unknown entities who will use it… who knows how. These types of attacks do happen from time to time, but this time it was massive and aimed at one of the most utilized and cherished websites in the whole planet.
Was Temple Of Goo affected by the hack? Unfortunately, it was.
What does this mean? It means someone has the username and password that were used to log in into Archive.org, where we store all of our Goo Goo Dolls releases as part of the APP initiative.
As of this moment, the website is not accessible anymore. The Archive.org admins and developers are working hard to solve the breach. Either way, the Temple’s access keys to Archive.org are compromised and nothing can be done about it until the site is back online.
I am writing this notice to let our readers know that if in the future you happen to see something strange going on in our official Archive.org profile, it certainly will not be our doing but rather some kid in a basement having fun with it.
We will see what happens in the future. In the meantime, I suggest you head over to haveibeenpwned, the most reliable source to discover whether or not your email has been compromised, and take all the necessary precautions to avoid finding yourself in a bad situation (I’ve been there…)
Best of luck to you all out there.
