A hacktivist dressed as the Pink Power Ranger publicly destroyed three white supremacist dating and networking websites during a live presentation, exposing over 6,500 extremist profiles and demolishing digital infrastructure that promoted racial separatism.
Story Highlights
- Martha Root deleted WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal websites live at Europe’s largest hacker conference
- Over 6,500 white supremacist profiles leaked with names, photos, and geolocations from “Tinder for Nazis”
- Site administrator called the takedown “cyberterrorism” while vowing repercussions
- All three extremist platforms remain offline as of January 2026
Hacktivist Spectacle Destroys Extremist Infrastructure
Martha Root orchestrated the most public takedown of white supremacist digital infrastructure in recent memory at Hamburg’s Chaos Communication Congress. Wearing a Pink Power Ranger costume, Root remotely deleted three interconnected extremist websites while an audience of hackers cheered. The targeted platforms included WhiteDate (dubbed “Tinder for Nazis”), WhiteChild (a sperm and egg donor site for white supremacists), and WhiteDeal (a racist labor marketplace). Root exploited catastrophically poor security measures, describing the sites’ cybersecurity as “grandma-level” incompetence that left user data completely exposed.
The operation began months earlier when German journalists Eva Hoffmann and Christian Fuchs infiltrated these platforms for a Die Zeit exposé. Root collaborated with the journalists, using AI chatbots to bypass racial verification systems and systematically harvest user data. The hacktivist’s technical prowess exposed fundamental vulnerabilities in extremist digital organizing, revealing how easily these networks could be penetrated and destroyed by determined actors with basic technical skills.
Massive Data Leak Exposes White Supremacist Network
Root’s data breach exposed intimate details of over 6,500 WhiteDate users, including names, photographs, precise geolocations, ages, genders, and racial information. The leaked profiles reveal an overwhelmingly male userbase comprising 86% of the platform, undermining the extremist movement’s appeal claims. DDoSecrets, a transparency nonprofit, archived the complete 100GB dataset under the title “WhiteLeaks,” restricting access to verified journalists and researchers while Root published partial user data publicly.
The exposed geolocation metadata poses severe doxxing risks for white supremacists who believed they operated under anonymity protection. Many users uploaded photos containing embedded location data, creating digital breadcrumbs that law enforcement and anti-extremist activists can now trace. This exposure demonstrates how poor operational security among extremist groups creates vulnerabilities that compromise entire networks when exploited by skilled opposition forces.
Administrator Cries “Cyberterrorism” as Sites Remain Down
The websites’ administrator, allegedly a German woman whose identity remains unconfirmed, responded with fury on social media platform X, declaring the takedown “cyberterrorism” while the conference audience celebrated. The administrator vowed unspecified repercussions against Root and the collaborating journalists, though no concrete retaliation has materialized. All three extremist platforms remain completely offline as of January 2026, with the administrator failing to respond to media inquiries about restoration efforts or backup systems.
This incident highlights the fragile infrastructure underlying far-right digital organizing, where single points of failure can obliterate entire extremist ecosystems. The administrator’s inability to quickly restore services suggests these platforms operated without proper backup protocols or disaster recovery planning, making them exceptionally vulnerable to determined hacktivists. The takedown effectively eliminated tools that white supremacists used for dating, reproduction planning, and labor coordination, disrupting their broader organizational capabilities.
