ICE List Knocked Offline by DDoS as It Moves to Publish DHS Personnel Leak

An archived copy remains reachable during a server migration to restore access.

Overview

  • The site's founder says a sustained distributed denial-of-service attack that began Tuesday evening overwhelmed servers and blocked access.
  • The disruption coincided with plans to publish a whistleblower-provided dataset of roughly 4,500 additional ICE and Border Patrol employees, bringing the site's total to about 6,500 names.
  • The leak reportedly includes names, work email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and employment background details, with planned exclusions for roles such as childcare workers and nurses.
  • The founder reports much of the malicious traffic appeared to route from Russia-linked IPs through proxies, notes that attribution is uncertain, and says the team is migrating to new servers while an archived copy remains accessible.
  • DHS condemned the publication effort as doxxing and warned of prosecutions, citing rising assaults and death threats against officers.
