Open the Wayback Machine's captures above: the capture of the record page shows this hash as it stood then, and the capture of the story page shows the newsroom's own page.
If someone shows you this front page as it was, hash it: sha256sum prints 22233fb5c2eff434e25474751a9bb4d9657967c29df8b7ef2cab5fc6d1375eb0 for the page this site kept 2026-10-10 11:21 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1174, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970761: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1174.txt.ots.
