I hope readers will accept my apologies for what is clearly unsatisfactory, but I can ill-afford to get embroiled in a legal fight.
@edavies he probably can’t without risk, but it’s almost always a defamation claim. Such claims are baseless, and can often be dismissed through anti-SLAPP (if applicable in a jurisdiction), but are very expensive to defend anyway

Waits for legal action against wayback machine.
@gcluley Can you say what the basis of their threat was?
