alt Hacker News> archive.is is malicious -- as in, uses your browser to launch DDoS attacks, and other things.
I think the attack was itself a response to a doxxing attempt. Also, archive.is being a free service doesn't quite fit with claiming they are malicious. The overall picture seems still positive.
I don't care what the attack is responding to, nor do I care what services are being provided.
If, when I visit your site, your site causes my browser to participate in a DDoS attack without my knowledge, your site is malicious.
