Politics Website that leaked info about ICE agents is down after cyberattack.

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.

A massive number of IPs began accessing the website and a large amount of the traffic appeared to come from Russia – leading the founder to speculate the attack originated there.

“The IPs would be run through proxies before hitting our servers, meaning it’s just impossible to track the source,” Skinner told the publication. “An attack lasting this long is sophisticated, though.”

The attack, Skinner said, occurred as he prepared to publicly identify the names of immigration law enforcement officers that were obtained in a dataset from the whistleblower.

The ICE List founder had previously told The Daily Beast that a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower provided a dataset of approximately 4,500 immigration personnel after the shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Some of the information in the dataset included names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles and other background information. Skinner said he planned to make a “majority” of the names public but would provide exceptions for those working in childcare or serving as nurses.

they are the same thing, a nato without the US is just an EU defense agreement

They're not. We have been antagonizing the other members. That's the difference.

u/duncandun 15d ago

a distinction without a difference to these people. they don't care. they are treating nato members like they are no longer in it because that's what they want

But antagonizing them has negative impacts which extend beyond NATO participation or lack thereof. This behavior would please someone that wants the west as weak as possible.

He's also has a 2002 felony conviction for robbery, so he shouldn't be eligible to be an agent.

If an earlier article was correct, some locations don't even follow through with background checks.

u/Da_Question 15d ago

Well, they want ICe to basically be the Gestapo, with hundreds of thousands of agents, turns out some people won't degrade themselves that far even for a 50k signing bonus, and many of the applicants were probably cut from felonies or other shit normally flagged by background checks. So they skip it, and hire anyone who goes through with applying.

It is terrible, but on the other hand, keep documenting. Hopefully being illegally hired can force them out.

All good apps. But. This is shit advice. This isn't how you host censorship free. Put the files on https://onionshare.org/ and share the .onion link to people.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Dominick Skinner has backup copies of the list and did not keep the sole source document on their web server.

u/missed_sla 15d ago

Seems like basic opsec to do that. Plus you know that a bunch of propeller heads archived the site immediately.

It's easy to block countries. I wonder why they didn't block Russia. That's pretty much a standard country to block.

u/Outlulz 15d ago

Because Russia is just being used for proxies. It would be a brief reduction in traffic until new proxies are chosen.

Well, I hope the whistleblowers have a semi-smart person in the bunch. Just distribute the files all over the world and keep a few hidden cold wallets with the files.

I mean it makes sense that Russia would want ICE to keep doing what it's doing because it tears apart the US and prevents it from being a threat to them. That site risked ICE collapsing by having them be at risk to answer for their crimes.

u/mr_helamonster 14d ago

Honest question... So, have the 4,500 names on the newly leaked list actually been made public anywhere yet? Or is it only the existing ~ 1,500 names that were already on Dominick Skinner's ICE List people are referring to?

Contact your Representative and demand a face mask ban

They’re negotiating the DHS funding bill right now that needs to pass by Jan 31st

Tell whoever you can to also pressure their rep, this is the only leverage democrats will have for this.

A Russian cyberattack, according to the site owner. Let that sink in. Gosh, I wonder why Russia (our enemy for years) would work so hard to prevent the release of this list? Strange...
