A website dedicated to naming ICE and Border Patrol employees is coming under a “prolonged and sophisticated” cyber attack after the Daily Beast revealed it planned to make public 4,500 names of federal immigration staff.

The founder of ICE List said the website was overwhelmed by malicious web traffic originating in Russia after the Beast reported that a huge cache of personal IDs had been leaked to the site by an alleged Department of Homeland Security whistleblower.

The Direct Denial of Service (DDOS) assault, which began on Tuesday evening and is still ongoing at the time of publication, saw a huge number of IPs simultaneously access the website of ICE List, a self-styled “accountability initiative.”

This has successfully overloaded the ICE List’s servers and is preventing people from accessing the site. The timing coincided with ICE List founder Dominick Skinner telling the Daily Beast he would make public the first tranche of names in the dataset, which was leaked following the shooting by an ICE agent of mom Renee Nicole Good.

Again, what's more chaotic, pigs fearing for themselves and their family or pigs not fearing for themselves and their family?

Putin has nothing to gain from this, the state department or just random fascists with money to spend on a botnet do.

If some Russian dissidents published a list of Russian FBI equivalent's agent's addresses, would the US (or even just any non-fascist with technical knowledge and time) try to take it down, or make sure it's distributed as widely as possible?

"Russia is helping the US do what the US does because their evil and bad and hate freedom" is the equivalent of "Russia blew up their own pipeline".

Putin being evil and bad is true, but it's directly against Russia's interests and in the US's interest to take down the list.

What's better for them is an entire population being afraid of the pigs, and giving the pigs more time to amp up their abuse, piss off citizens even more, cause larger and more violent protests and larger and more violent government responses, and take America into a Civil War.

Or, ICE agents get doxxed, and decide it isn't worth the trouble and quit, and Russia loses the fuel for their most consistent source of chaos.

ICE agents aren't going to quit over doxxing, they're the type to jerk off over the idea of someone trying to hurt them or their family.

If America was going to rise up, seeing ice agents get got in their own home would be inspirational, in the same way a burning police station was inspiration in 2020; showing people that you're not powerless does infinitely more to bring people out than seeing a million people march for 6 hours and go home having accomplished nothing.

ICE agents are like anyone else. Wives generally speak very loudly in situations like this, and even if they aren't worried about themselves, their wives will make them care about their families.

Doxxing might not affect all of them, but it will affect a non-zero number of them, at a time when they are desperately recruiting for more.

ICE is doing what Russia can't. Why would Russia want that to end, just as it's all getting started, and getting results?
