A German hacker known as "Martha Root" dressed as a pink Power Ranger and deleted a white supremacist dating website live onstage

This happened during the recent CCC conference.

Martha had infiltrated the site, ran her own AI chatbot to extract as much information from users as possible, and downloaded every profile. She also uncovered the owner of the site. She has published all of the data.

@tauon @x3r0x playing a bit advocate for the devil but "her own ai chatbot" could suggest that its a locally trained and ran model, and for this purpose I feel it would be a fine option, considering how tedious manually doing this could've been
(emphasis on could've, since idk what data there is and stuff)

@tauon @x3r0x @MarkAssPandi you can’t run document.querySelector(...) on a person?

Martha infiltrierte das Portal mit „realistischen“ KI-Chatbots. Die Bots waren so überzeugend, dass sie die Überprüfungen umgingen und sogar als „weiß“ verifiziert worden. Durch die Gespräche und Recherche von digitalen Spuren dieser Gemeinschaft, die sich in Sicherheit wähnte, konnte sie Nutzer identifizieren.

@tauon @MarkAssPandi @x3r0x (haven’t watched the video. the description implies that AI was used for social engineering though)

@[email protected] @x3r0x @MarkAssPandi ahhh so it was hugely misworded by most parties involved
i thought it was just used to extract bio information, but it was actually used to hold "conversations" with users? that's actually a pretty cool use case

@tauon
If I recall correctly, the bot was interacting with other users, automating a dating profile.
