The FBI is investigating the operators of Archive.today, a popular archiving website that allows users to save snapshots of web pages, often bypassing paywalls. Launched in 2012, Archive.today has become a valuable resource for accessing content like government documents. Despite its utility, the identity of its owner remains unclear. The original domain points to Denis Petrov in Prague, a name believed to be fake, and clues suggest the creator might be a single individual, possibly from Russia, based on language and payment hints. The probe gained attention when Archive.today shared an FBI subpoena dated October 30. This legal order, issued to Tucows, a Canadian domain registration company, demands extensive information about the site's ownership. Details requested include names, addresses, billing information, phone records, payment data, and internet logs. While the subpoena is part of a federal criminal investigation, it does not specify any crime. Tucows is required to keep the subpoena confidential but has confirmed compliance with it, giving the FBI a deadline of November 29 to obtain the records. This investigation aligns with recent actions against similar sites that help users access copyrighted content without paying. Earlier this year, the News/Media Alliance successfully pressured the shutdown of another such service, 12ft.io, citing illegal practices. As the FBI's inquiry unfolds, the debate over the true identity of Archive.today's operators intensifies online. Hackread.com has reached out to the Archive.ph team for a statement on the matter.
