A website dedicated to leaking personal information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents was reportedly subject to a cyber attack that its founder believes may have originated in Russia.
Dominick Skinner, a Netherlands-based immigration activist, told The Daily Beast that his website, ICE List, came under cyberattack Tuesday evening after the publication reported Skinner planned to release personal information, obtained through a whistleblower, about thousands of employees.
The attack, known as a Direct Denial of Service, is when a perpetrator seeks to disrupt access to a network or service by flooding it with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload the system.
Skinner told The Daily Beast that a massive number of IPs began accessing the website and a large amount of the traffick appeared to come from Russia – leading the founder to speculate the attack originated there.
Everything worked last night for me, even the search!
Just gonna say Netherland isn’t out of usa juridiction and I have high doubt that it legal to have those data.
Had no idea they stored the data in the Netherlands! Tried to access it now, and the sites down, but their wiki is up https://wiki.icelist.is/index.php/Main_Page
Honestly, even though it might be store on Dutch servers and might be illegal, these are fascist scum who should not get the same privacy as the rest of us.
you do you. But don’t be chocked when the same logic applies to you.
