The administrator of the three websites did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment, which was sent to an email address shown during the conference talk.

Uhm.... You'll be waiting forever. They literally deleted admin email accounts in the video. Good journalism 👍

TechCrunch also sent an email to an address that appears on the public domain records of two of the three websites. The person behind that address also did not immediately respond to our email.

I need more hackers doing this. Great work.

[–] art@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago

That's fucking metal.

I'd be very nervous: Did I place enough try/catch blocks in my lol.py?

Are all the passwords correct before I run it on stage?

Is this endpoint to delete an email correctly spelled out?

Does the WiFi of the conference allow connecting to these domains?

So many things could go wrong.

bah, you just run the script that shows an unconditional [x] done. you can check the details later!

[–] Dlayknee@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

That's basically what I thought when I saw this - there's no way anything is happening that quickly, this is just outputting "done!" over and over.

Get fucked Nazi scum.

I hope some well intentioned vigilantes use this information to make America a better place.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Or in this case, they don't get fucked. It is a dating site after all.

An extinction that I can get behind.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

The genius of launching an attack of this scale from an address space that is already jam-packed full of hackers, should not be understated. Id say that, if not for doing it live on stage, law enforcement now has a giant haystack of needles to sift through.

Talk link?

Edit: here it is

Hope they dumped their shit on the dark web

[–] nyankas@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (3 children)

No, they didn’t dump it on the dark web. They‘ve dumped it on the regular web instead: https://okstupid.lol/

[–] REDACTED 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Imagine calling yourselves the "master race" but forgetting to secure your own website—maybe try mastering to host Wordpress before world domination.

Oof

A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia

I cackled

[–] majster@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

1:5 gender ratio. Perfect for incels.

[–] Enzy@feddit.nu 3 points 6 days ago

Even better, thanks.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Don't just stop at 3, there are so many more shitheads still out there.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

Now we need a website that we can add to that doxxes them that we can browse like a Nazi Facebook site, but frozen in time.
