In a major cybersecurity and activism strike, a popular white supremacist dating platform has been wiped from the internet after a hacker breached its servers, downloaded its entire database, and began leaking thousands of user profiles online.
The Hack and the Hacker
The incident, which unfolded on January 5, 2026, saw the site known as WhiteDate completely deleted by an anonymous German web activist. The hacker, who goes by the alias 'Martha Root', live-streamed the attack while dressed in a pink Power Ranger costume. She derided the site's security, stating it "would make even your grandma's AOL account blush."
Before taking the site down, Root managed to download approximately 100 gigabytes of data. From this vast trove, she has so far extracted and publicly posted around 8,000 user profiles, though the total number contained in the full dataset is believed to be significantly higher.
What the Leaked Data Reveals
The published information includes sensitive personal details such as usernames, ages, locations, and personal biographies. Some profiles also contained photographs. While email addresses and private messages have not yet been released publicly, the full dataset – including profile photos with potentially revealing metadata – has been shared with verified journalists and researchers.
Geographic analysis of the leaked profiles shows the majority were based in the United States. However, the data also includes approximately 400 users in the UK, with similar numbers in France and Germany, and others scattered across Europe. The hacker noted the site's user base was overwhelmingly male, quipping that its gender ratio "makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia."
Profiles from the UK
The leaked UK profiles offer a disturbing window into the site's membership. One, belonging to a 27-year-old man named Kieran from Barnard Castle, County Durham, expressed his desire to find "a woman who understands the threat to our race." He claimed his motivation stemmed from having "watched our citys [sic] become harbors of degeneracy and foreign cultures."
Another user, a 31-year-old from Wolverhampton calling himself Mr Stone, wrote he was "sick of logging into other Christian sites" that lacked an option to specify disinterest in "blacks or other species of human." A 55-year-old Londoner using the name KK listed hobbies like collecting organic seeds and sought a partner who understood politicians are "controlled by the same people."
In a notable contradiction, a 30-year-old woman from Swansea, Minty95, who joined a site ostensibly designed to "preserve the white race," explicitly stated she "does not wish to procreate."
Aftermath and Investigation
Root claims to have identified the company behind WhiteDate as a Paris-based firm, though this has not been independently verified. Historical records show the site registered the trademark 'White Deal, Hire European Staff' back in 2019.
The hack represents a significant breach of a niche extremist platform and has exposed the personal information of thousands of individuals who used the service. The release of the data to researchers is likely to fuel further analysis of far-right online networks and their membership across Europe and North America.
