tl;dr someone found a weakness in the security of archive.is, inserted their own code that made it look like the page wasn't loading, but the page was actually an image hosted at the website of a university that specialises in security. This gave whoever put the image there everyone's IP addresses, because everyone was connecting to their server to download the image from their site.
