Comment on Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference

Watched the video last week. Two standout parts:

She tries to get access to the database from outside. Tries a bunch of ways. Then just tries going to /download-all-data (or something similar). Page shows up with a ‘download’ button. Clicks. Downloads. No security.
Last 5m of video, she runs a python script. Not clear what it’s doing under the hood, but it prints out status that it’s deleted all applications, databases, backups, email accounts, social media, and DNS.

At this point, my BS sensor was pegged. But if true, it was a total takedown.

The sites are still wiped (other than the homepage). It was real:

As of this writing, WhiteDate, which Hoffmann described as a “Tinder for Nazis”; WhiteChild, a site that claimed to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors; and WhiteDeal, a sort-of Taskrabbit-esque labor marketplace for racists, are all offline.

The administrator of the three websites confirmed the hack on their social media accounts.

“They publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing repercussions.

  Let’s not give the right too much credit. They claim Trump was shot in the ear last year. I’m surprised they were able to guess the body part Charlie was shot in. They will make anything the news if it will gain sympathy for their fascism

    an anti white nationalist hacker claimed to hack then, they confirmed it. Nothing pro-white nationalist saying they were hacked honestly

The website itself does no longer exist, so the takedown has been real.

I have seen deployments on aws like that where everything is one I AM identify for everything. I still think backups are not really deleted for 7 days but if corporate systems still get ransomed, the kkk won’t do much better.
