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.

Now why on earth would Russia want to halt the leak? Especially when they're so mad at us about Venezuela and the oil we're seizing? 🤔

Why announce? Do it & the damage done did. Then announce it. Fucking amateurs. Probably something Walter Sobchak would say.

So Russian criminals are helping American GeStaPo fascists in taking over the country? What a coincidence...

Oh noes. So horrible that there are no other ways this can be disseminated and I am SURE the organizers aren't looking into those at all.

I guess the more interesting question is.. is this putin or is it just a black hat for hire working out of russia?

I have good money on it being a "friend" of Pooty-Poot's who wants to squash resistance to ICE. Possibly someone who's in a position of power. Possibly someone who's a demented rapist felon and a pathological liar.

demented rapist felon and a pathological liar.

It's insane to me how little this narrows it down to someone who doesn't already know who you mean.

Make the static dataset available on IPFS and you'll have node operators pin it on their instance. Good luck taking that down.

I'd be okay with a torrent as well.

So . . . Trump reached out to daddy for help.

So did the information get out at all?

Putin - Who's your friend?

Trump - You are, boss. It's only you.

FYI - I was able to get through to the Icelist wiki page which now has a 403 Forbidden on it. I don't know who controls the site rn.

Even more important that the list makes the rounds.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 34 points 1 day ago (22 children)

Yeah this probably should have been archived offline immediately and then spread around to decentralize it.

All they needed to do was put out a torrent.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I have no problem accessing the site. Could I be on a fake one? https://icelist.is/ice/

[–] LemUser@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

mine looks like this and when I click on an office, person or directory, it yields dozens of sub categories or more names of underlings:

[–] seathru@quokk.au 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but all of that info was there last week. Nothing from the new leak.

I wonder why these pigs wouldn't want to publish their name if they just got their best job in their life ...

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Whoever has this info, if its real is a moron bar none. One torrent and by now it would be everywhere. Instead they create a puff website for it.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

ICElist has been there before the leak though.
