A hacktivist known as Martha Root demonstrated a live server deletion of three white supremacist websites (WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal) during a talk at Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg. Root exploited poor security practices, scraped over 6,500 user profiles containing geolocation metadata and personal information, and published the data through DDoSecrets. The hacker gained access using AI chatbots that bypassed verification processes. The sites remain offline, and the administrator has called the action cyberterrorism while vowing repercussions.

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference

I don’t know how to feel about this.
On the one side, screw those hateful bastards. On the other side, they just deleted the containment sites where people self reported on themselves. Now they’re part of the “general population”.

They just needed to delete X, and 99% of white supremacists would lose their digital megaphone.

Isn’t it mostly promoting them in essense? I never heard about such bollocks before, but now i know.
