StopICE, an app that tracks U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, faced a breach that its developers attribute to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent. Users received alarming text messages claiming their information had been compromised and sent to authorities. The messages also disparaged the app’s developer, Sherman Austin. In response, Austin denied the allegations, asserting that StopICE does not store personal data like names or addresses, and accused the messages of being propagated by racist pro-Trump accounts. The app's administrators claimed that they experience over 500 distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks daily. They reported a specific incident on January 30, where an attack aimed to flood their system with false alerts. The source of this attack was traced back to a personal server linked to a CBP agent in Southern California. The developers employed deceptive tactics, using fake data to reveal the attackers' identities, and they plan to disclose the IP addresses and personal details of those involved in the cyber assault. StopICE emphasized that while it offers a "location assist" feature, it does not track or store users' GPS information. The admins warned users to be cautious about sharing personal information on social media, noting that platforms like Meta and Google can share user data with law enforcement. They recommended using end-to-end encrypted services like Signal for secure communications.
