The ICE List website, a domain that aims to make immigrations agents accountable, is experiencing a sustained cyber attack following reports that it would publish approximately 4,500 names of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol employees.

ICE List founder Dominick Skinner reported that the distributed denial-of-service attack began Tuesday evening and continued through publication, according to the Daily Beast.

The assault involved massive simultaneous traffic from multiple IP addresses, successfully overwhelming the site's servers and preventing access.

Skinner stated: "The IPs would be run through proxies before hitting our servers, meaning it's just impossible to track the source. An attack lasting this long is sophisticated, though." He noted that a significant portion of malicious traffic originated from Russia, likely from a bot farm operating there.

1. They don't want their employees' info outed

After all, that might interfere with kraznov's mission to destroy centers of US commerce: cities.

9. Where would be good places online to share that link?

New at this…

Right now I’m sharing that link on CL in major US cities under “politics” and “rants and raves”.

Any other suggestions or thoughts from DU community?

5. If true, then gee, what's Russia's interest in taking that site down?

Or, who is paying a Russian bot farm to take that site down, and why?

6. This needs much more exposure

7. So, we can call those against the whistleblower(s) Putin's bootlickers?

8. This has to do with stealing the election

ICE will be one force used to intimidate and more. Russia wants to see us slip into total autocracy (and subsequent economic collapse). So , yeah, this is kinda significant

10. Kick

Russia's protecting ICE agents... fighting to keep identities secret.

There's something wrong with this picture.
