It's a literal window.alert()

But was that code placed there by IA or by the malicious party?

Verge reports someone has taken credit for an ongoing DDOS against IA. "An account on X called SN_Blackmeta said it was behind the attack and implied that another attack was planned for tomorrow" https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/9/24266419/internet-archive...

This bad actor has videos of them supposedly “ddosing” Spotify by pinging 1.1.1.1 in two terminal windows on their Twitter.

Is there any link between them and the real attack or are they just unrelated people claiming credit for it?

Sounds snarky to me. I'll bet it was the malicious party.
