During a speech at a hacker conference last week, a hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites on stage, but the sites have not yet come back online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who called herself Martha Root, disguised herself as the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers and took down WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal servers in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Conference in Hamburg, Germany.
Root spoke alongside journalists Eva Hoffmann and Christian Fuchs, who wrote an article about the hacked site in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit in October.
At the time of writing, Hoffman was calling WhiteDate a “Nazi tinderbox.” WhiteChild, a site that claims to match white supremacist sperm and egg donors. The White Deal (a sort of task rabbit-esque labor market for racists) is all offline.
Administrators of the three websites admitted hacking into their social media accounts.
“While the audience rejoices, they publicly delete all my websites. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing to spread the ripples.
The administrator also claimed that Root deleted the X account before restoring it.

Root also published data it allegedly collected from WhiteDate online.
The hacker said he had collected public WhiteDate data and discovered “poor cybersecurity hygiene that would make even your grandma's AOL account blush.” Root said users' images include precise geolocation metadata, “effectively giving away their home address along with that awkward selfie.”
“Imagine calling yourself a 'master race' but forgetting to protect your website? Before you conquer the world, why not try mastering to host WordPress?” Root wrote.
The leaked data includes user profiles including name, photo, description, age, location (both including exact coordinates and country and state set by the user), gender, language, ethnicity, and other personal information uploaded by the user. Root wrote on the site that there are no emails, passwords or private conversations “at this time.”
According to the leaked data, WhiteData had more than 6,500 users, of which 86% were male and 14% were female. “The gender ratio makes Smurf Village look like a feminist utopia,” Root wrote.
According to a summary of the meeting, Root entered the site using an AI chatbot that circumvented the verification process and was verified as “white.”
DDoSecrets, a nonprofit organization that archives leaked datasets in the public interest, announced that it had received “files and user information” from three white supremacist websites. The group, which refers to the release as “WhiteLeaks,” is not releasing the data publicly, but instead is asking verified journalists and researchers to request access to the entire 100 gigabyte data set.
Administrators of the three websites did not immediately respond to TechCrunch's requests for comment sent to email addresses provided during the conference talks. TechCrunch also sent emails to addresses listed in the public domain records of two of the three websites. A representative at that address also did not immediately respond to our email.
Root, Hoffman and Fuchs claim to have identified the website administrator as a woman from Germany. TechCrunch was unable to independently verify the administrator's identity.
