A RACIST dating site dubbed “Tinder for Nazis” was hacked by an activist dressed as a pink Power Ranger on livestream, exposing thousands of profiles online.
The hacktivist, who goes by Martha Root, broke into WhiteDate and deleted it during their talk at a hacker conference in Hamburg, Germany, last week.
Livestreaming the moment, the German web activist then downloaded 100 gigabytes of its data and posted 8,000 profiles online.
WhiteDate claimed to be a “dating platform for white people with traditional European values”, marketing itself as a “counter to woke culture”.
Root said the site’s security was so weak it “would make even your grandma’s AOL account blush”.
And she mocked users’ images which offered up precise geolocation metadata that “practically hands out home addresses with a side of awkward selfies.”

The dramatic leak exposed information including location, username, age and personal bio as well as some user profiles.
Email addresses and private messages have not yet made the cut.
Root joked: “Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website – maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination.”
Most of the leaked profiles are based in the US with around 400 in the UK, France and Germany.
According to The Metro, one profile belonging to a 27-year-old from Barnard Castle, County Durhamnamed Kieran, seeks “a woman who understands the threat to our race”.
The leaked data shows WhiteDate had more than 6,500 users, of which 86 per cent were men and 14 per cent women.
Root infiltrated the site using AI chatbots that evaded verification processes and were verified as “white,” according to the talks’ abstract.
At the time of publishing, the site remains offline.
The administrator confirmed the hack on their social media account and vowed “repercussions”.
The WhiteDate X profile wrote: “At min 43, they publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices.
“This is cyberterrorism. No wonder some of them hide their faces.
“But we will find them, and trust me, there will be repercussions.”
Root gave the talk alongside journalists Eva Hoffmann and Christian Fuchs, at the Chaos Communication Congress (39C3).
WhiteChild, a site claiming to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors and WhiteDeal, a marketplace advertised for racists, were also wiped and downloaded at the event.
All three websites are believed to be run by the same administrator.
Root claims to have identified the real identity of the websites’ owner as a woman from Germany, but this has not been confirmed.
