The recent Chaos Communication Congress showcased a striking incident where a hacker known as Martha Root, dressed as the pink Power Ranger, deleted three websites linked to white supremacy. This event took place on January 2, 2026, and highlighted the ongoing challenges of combating hate online.
During her presentation, Root executed a script that not only wiped the sites—WhiteDate, WhiteDeal, and WhiteChild—but also removed their associated emails and social media accounts. These platforms promoted racist matchmaking, labor, and breeding services, respectively, and had been previously criticized for perpetuating hate.
Root's method involved using an AI chatbot to gather user data, which allowed her to infiltrate the sites and expose their operations. The talk featured discussions with journalists Eva Hoftman and Christian Fuchs, who had reported on the sites’ connections to extremist ideologies.
