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.

do you have any evidence what you said is true? because i looked and i can't find any evidence it's a phrase in use.

You looked for the phrase that is literally in the article and when nothing came back you still assumed that it showed you everything? With this incongruous search result you then decided to challenge my anecdote? I don’t have any time left for trolls today.

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.
