A German hacker-journalist who names herself ‘Martha Root’ has livestreamed her deletion of an entire racist dating site. She dressed as a Power Ranger – the pink one – to delete ‘WhiteDate’, which has been nicknamed ‘Tinder for Nazis’:

Go go Power Ranger

Root, who had spent some time having fun before the deletion, also accessed the site’s entire database. The attack has become known as ‘WhiteLeaks’ – she then leaked data on the site’s 100,000 or so users. As well as hacking WhiteDate, Root also accessed its imaginatively titled sister sites:

• WhiteChild – basically ‘Ancestry for Nazis’; and
• WhiteDeal – more or less a ‘Linkedin for racists‘ who only want to do business with kindred ghouls.

Root also found time to mock the racists and their ideology, saying:

I infiltrated a racist dating site and made Nazis fall in love with robots.

[Their cybersecurity] would make even your grandma’s AOL account blush Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website – maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination.

They might need some cream for that burn.

From one of the linked articles (emphasis mine):

The data includes highly sensitive and detailed self-reported information, such as usernames, gender, age, location, activity history, lifestyle, height, eye color, hair color, and other physical appearance traits, income range, education, marital status, religion, and even self-assessed IQ, among many other fields.

edit: holy shit, literally the next paragraph

Notably, the dataset also contains numerous profile photos, along with embedded EXIF metadata that reveals precise GPS coordinates, device information, timestamps, and other identifying details.

Not stripping EXIF data is a truly astonishing level of incompetence congratulations

...no wait, that's not even the best part:

Root said she contacted a hacker who helped to exfiltrate the data. However, no hacks were required – all it took was a simple URL trick of adding “download-all-users/” to the top-level domain.

Their "superior" "Aryan" blood was no match for the Pink Power.

Can you even imagine the gender gap on a website like that.

[-] woodenghost@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The gender abyss (no wait, that sounds too cool)

Oh finally some good news. Thanks, I needed that.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

it would be better if this actually had a impact; but i guess i'll have to make due with whatever i can get.

[-] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

I can't read the terminal text on my phone its too small. Is this headline claiming she removed the website from the internet?

All I can find about is the data leak. They've put up a cute website about it here https://okstupid.lol/

i checked okstupid and some german guy mentioned in his dm's that his former fellow party members are hoarding weapons :)

[-] woodenghost@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

It's just the output of a python program that (claims too) delete things like the whitedate website, two other websites (whitechild and whitedeal), multiple admin email accounts, registration, backup files, etc. Seems real, since the websites are still down.

Mighty Morphin Fans always right, Zeo fans would never do this shit.

[-] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

You know what? Fine, I'm now more than happy with a few hundred years of more MMPR nostalgia baiting

We must secure a future for dates at applebee's that end at a bowling alley where everyone goes home disappointed.
