Suspected Russian DDoS attack disrupts ICE agent data leak site

ICE List, a website exposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers' and Border Patrol agents' personal details, was noted by its administrator Dominick Skinner to have been taken down by a suspected Russian distributed denial-of-service attack following his reported release of data from nearly 4,500 immigration workers obtained from a Department of Homeland Security in the wake of the shooting of Renee Good, according to The Independent.

"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," said Skinner, who noted that most of the IPs were from Russia. Allegedly included in the dataset were individuals' names, phone numbers, email addresses, and job titles, with Skinner revealing a plan to expose most of the names, except for nurses and those in childcare.

Such a development comes after ICE List was slammed by the DHS for enabling the doxxing of its officers. However, the U.S. would not be able to dismantle the site, which is hosted in the Netherlands.
