Here's a link to the original article (from the same author) on the platform you should actually subscribe to.
https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-uses-was-hacked/
404 has a partnership with Wired. They are both great publications; I subscribe to both. So reading this work on Wired supports 404

Big 404 fan, but "original" is misleading. "First article on this topic" is more accurate. OPs link is arguably more interesting.
You might enjoy the full blog post from the author:

Mmmm that's the stuff.
The Wired article is not based on the 404 article. This one goes into detail about the mechanics of the hack.

How is archive working in general? Did you create this copy benevolently because you are a subscriber, or did someone else do it? How do you find such link then? Thanks
Websites publish the full article so that search engines and news readers pick it up, but then hide it with JavaScript so humans can't see it. The archive doesn't run JavaScript so it doesn't get the blocked version
