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.”

No, the CIA is renting some Russian cloud resources to attack America.

And they’re doing a shitty job. I’ve been able to scrape large portions of the site using a retry mechanism with exponential backoff. This is basic data mining stuff.
I’ll get the agents, incidents, and vehicles into a good csv format. Where should I post the results?

...shocking no one that was paying attention.
If Taco's not actively colluding with our foreign enemies, he's definitely a useful idiot for them.

Unfortunately for them, it was all archived. And they only targeted the wiki.

So...this is their plausible deniability excuse for not just releasing a torrent? Poor effort from that shitrag.

Not before someone found Enrique Tarrio in the ICE list. I bet we find plenty of Proud Boys in there.

I was just thinking today that this is where all the proud boy and Patriot front cunts ended up.

I find it quite telling of the political landscape that even after vacuuming up all the wannabe-fasci scum, ICE still struggles to have the numbers.

How can we Fediverse that?
LodeMike@lemmy.today · 14 pts · 247d
Cant really. Most instances have a relatively low size limit.
A torrent would be nice
