Watch a hacker dressed as a Power Ranger delete a white supremacist dating site

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.
