That doesn't seem to be what they want, and they are sending a bunch of flying monkeys after everyone that asks for it.

The Direct Denial of Service (DDOS) assault,
That's not was DDOS means: Distributed Denial of Service
...meaning it comes from so many different sources its very hard to block.
It's the daily beast, would not be surprised if the article was AI hallucinated based on a few tweets or something

AI doesn’t know that.
It's a common acronym. This isn't the kind of thing an LLM would screw up, in my experience, I'd put my money on human error for this one.

Oh noes. So horrible that there are no other ways this can be disseminated and I am SURE the organizers aren't looking into those at all.
I guess the more interesting question is.. is this putin or is it just a black hat for hire working out of russia?

I have good money on it being a "friend" of Pooty-Poot's who wants to squash resistance to ICE. Possibly someone who's in a position of power. Possibly someone who's a demented rapist felon and a pathological liar.

So Russian criminals are helping American GeStaPo fascists in taking over the country? What a coincidence...

That's what torrents are for
So . . . Trump reached out to daddy for help.
Putin - Who's your friend?
Trump - You are, boss. It's only you.
FYI - I was able to get through to the Icelist wiki page which now has a 403 Forbidden on it. I don't know who controls the site rn.

Since when did the first D in DDOS stand for DIRECT and not DISTRIBUTED?
Never, and attributing the use of Russian IPs to the Russian state for a DDOS attack is baseless speculation. This article is uninformed clickbait horseshit.

Make the static dataset available on IPFS and you'll have node operators pin it on their instance. Good luck taking that down.
I'd be okay with a torrent as well.
Isn't it Distributed Denial of Service for DDOS?
It is. This is a quality article.
Yeah this probably should have been archived offline immediately and then spread around to decentralize it.

Why Russia would protect this administration interests like that?
It's ridiculous that people in this thread actually believe this. Why would they use russian IPs if it was a russian DDOS attack, lol. It would be like signing your name on a bomb threat.

The founder of ICE List said the website was overwhelmed by malicious web traffic originating in Russia
Putin and his Black Hundreds trying to protect the little army of Kluxers in olive drab.
Now why on earth would Russia want to halt the leak? Especially when they're so mad at us about Venezuela and the oil we're seizing? 🤔
They aren't. Owe a bank 10 bucks, it's your problem. Owe a bank a million, it's their problem. Those countries gave their gold and resources to Russia. Now, when they expect to receive support back, the US is giving them an excuse why they don't need to as long as they perform a bit of false flag theater they are so accustomed to. Venezuela's oil is hard to refine cheaply and Russia has plenty not to mention they are a competitor, they are more concerned about the US Chevron and Exxon tankers Ukraine is disrupting from buying their oil after Trump quietly allowed them to resume.
Russia wants to assist Trump while feigning their part as the "enemy", yet they always manage to work lockstep in the grand scheme of things. So much so, that I expect that when the US does launch an operation against Greenland, they will try to be sneaky about it yet do it with Russia's help, likely from one the detachments claiming to be following one of the shadow fleets.
Russia considers its allies temporary and expendable, they've sacrificed theirs in negotiations to cooperate with the US to divide up their direct influence into hemispheres. Russia is specially interested in restoring the old USSR borders, but now just any win will do. Getting rid of competitors and letting go of the political baggage of their allies once exhausted is what they do. The regime puppets have already sent all their gold to Russia to try to secure their retirement within their borders. Russia treats its allies like the US is starting to.
Never ceases to amaze me that people refuse to believe or need to be reminded that Russia, China and others are actively and aggressively trying to undermine political and social stability in the US. Social media troll farms and bots, hacks of infrastructure, and apparently now preventing leaks of information detrimental to trump’s SS.

I wonder why these pigs wouldn't want to publish their name if they just got their best job in their life ...
No shot Russia is actually behind protecting the US government from its own people.
From what I've heard, Putin wants "democracy" to be a slang term for chaos, go figure the rest.
Despots really want to make democracy a "failed experiment in human history", and restore the age of autocrats.

It’s pointless to make speculations about the origin of the attack.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I have no problem accessing the site. Could I be on a fake one? https://icelist.is/ice/
mine looks like this and when I click on an office, person or directory, it yields dozens of sub categories or more names of underlings:

Even more reason why it should be released as a dump, and not walled in behind a website.
Well, it's slow, but I am getting past the homepage today, unlike yesterday.
Update: It seems to be working pretty smoothly for me now. A couple hangups, but mostly all good.
If it holds, I'd maybe take this post down to avoid confusion or discouragment.

Whoever has this info, if its real is a moron bar none. One torrent and by now it would be everywhere. Instead they create a puff website for it.
ICElist has been there before the leak though.

Why announce? Do it & the damage done did. Then announce it. Fucking amateurs. Probably something Walter Sobchak would say.
