The Internet Archive (IA) has partially resumed services to content that it hosts, including the Wayback Machine, Archive-It, and their blog. The DDOS attacks on the IA briefly impacted the PURLs linking to the FDLP Web Archive and other web archive content. GPO has confirmed that FDLP content linked to via Persistent Uniform Resource Locators (PURLs) is fully functional. Libraries do not need to take any action on their PURL links or catalog records. 

The IA continues to post information and updates on the DDOS attacks on their communication channels.
