Cloudflare has disabled DNS resolution for archive.today, labeling it a command-and-control (C&C) server or botnet component. This action means the popular web archiving service is now unreachable via Cloudflare's widely used 1.1.1.2 public DNS resolver. The move, reported on Hacker News, stems from Cloudflare's security team identifying archive.today as hosting malicious infrastructure.

The service, known for preserving web pages and circumventing censorship, now faces significant disruption for users relying on Cloudflare's DNS. Cloudflare provided no further technical details explaining the specific evidence leading to the C&C/Botnet classification.
