Adult content from hundreds of OnlyFans creators leaked online
2021-04-05 22:28

After a shared Google Drive was posted online containing the private videos and images from hundreds of OnlyFans accounts, a researcher has created a tool allowing content creators to check if they are part of the leak.

While OnlyFans is promoted as a way for celebrities and social influencers to share their content, it is also heavily used to share adult-themed content with fans who pay to access it.

Last month, researchers at cybersecurity firm BackChannel found a post on a hacking forum where a member shared a Google Drive full of OnlyFans adult-themed content with other members on the forum.

"It is not uncommon for subscribers of OnlyFans creators to share files. OnlyFans has somewhat weak content controls around their content, and there are plenty of bots and scrapers a legitimate subscriber can use. What makes this unique is thatso many users were bundled in one folder."

To help OnlyFans content creators determine if their content is part of this leak, BackChannel has created an 'OnlyFans Lookup Tool' web page.

BleepingComputer has contacted Google about how OnlyFans creators who are listed in this leak can more easily remove their content but has not heard back at this time.
