Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens

Perhaps a naïve question, but hasn't this problem been solved by the FreeNet Project (now HyphaNet) [0]? (the re-write — current FreeNet — was previously called Locutus, IIRC [1]).

Side note: As an outsider, and someone who hasn't tried either version of FreeNet in more than almost 2 decades, was this kind of a schism like the Python 2 vs. Python 3 kerfuffle? Is there more to it?

Hi, Freenet's FAQ explains the renaming/rebranding here: [1]

Neither version of Freenet is designed for long-term archiving of large amounts of data so it probably isn't ideally suited to replacing archive.org, but we are planning to build decentralized alternatives to services like wikipedia on top of Freenet.
