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.
it’s not up to me to support your claim. calling me names doesn’t shift the burden of proof
I didn’t call you a name I described your actions. I also freely referred what I commented as an anecdote. You can accept that I have heard other people use that phrase or don’t I don’t care. But using a search screenshot that didn’t return the article we are commenting on and then ignoring that isn’t making the argument you think it is.
