# Someone Published All the Membership Data From a Neo-Nazi Website

## Data Dump

Prior to its abrupt close in November 2017, [Iron March](<https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/07/neo-nazi-site-iron-march-materials-leak>) was one of the most influential neo-Nazi websites in the world. Investigators have linked the site to murders, acts of terrorism, and fascist groups in at least nine different countries.

And now, thanks to a leak from an anonymous source, researchers have access to the entire contents of Iron March — including the user names, registered email addresses, and IP addresses of nearly 1,000 site members.

## Hate Speech

On Wednesday, someone using the handle "antifa-data" posted a 1GB SQL database appearing to contain all of the data from Iron March to [the Internet Archive.](<https://archive.org/details/iron_march_201911>)

In addition to info that could lead to the identification of Iron March members, the database also includes the contents of members' public messages and private chats, much of which — as you'd expect from a neo-Nazi site— is rife with hateful speech and white supremacist rhetoric.

## Dropping Names

Disturbingly, as [noted by *Bellingcat*](<https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/how-tos/2019/11/06/massive-white-supremacist-message-board-leak-how-to-access-and-interpret-the-data/>), an open source journalism website, early analysis of the leak suggests that several Iron March members were active military personnel at the time they posted to the site. Others, meanwhile, expressed a strong desire to [join the military](<https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-army/2019/11/07/desire-to-join-military-large-focus-of-leaked-chats-in-infamous-neo-nazi-forum/>).

Several members of the site have been outed directly on social media already, including a former congressional candidate — and the leak is likely to help researchers and investigators identify numerous other neo-Nazis.
