A folder on Google Drive containing private videos and images from hundreds of OnlyFans accounts was posted online a few days ago. Now, a researcher has created a tool that allows content creators to verify if they are part of the leak. It is common for people to share the OnlyFans content that they subscribe to. However, what stands out about this leak is the large number of creators whose private content has been shared at the same time.
Although the purpose of the site is to be used by anyone who seeks to collect money from their followers by offering exclusive content, OnlyFans is considered by media such as the New York Times as a site that revolutionized erotic content on the Internet, since it is very used by people who share risque content in exchange for monetary retribution.
Last month, researchers from cybersecurity firm BackChannel found a post on a hacking forum. On said forum, one member shared with other forum members a Google Drive folder filled with OnlyFans adult content. It is not possible to see the size of the folder without downloading it. However, BackChannel founder Aaron DeVera said that the Google Drive folder originally contained folders from 279 OnlyFans creators. And, one of the folders has more than 10GB of videos and photos.
Unfortunately, OnlyFans content owners must report individual files for copyright infringement in order to remove them from Google Drive. For those with large amounts of files, this can become a tedious task. Stealing sexually explicit images is a clear violation of the platform’s terms of service and is classified as an offense. However, the only way to report this content is to go to each individual file and report it.
To help OnlyFans content creators determine if their content is part of this leak, BackChannel has created a tool. He has created a website “OnlyFans Lookup Tool”. This tool allows an OnlyFans creator to enter their username and determine if their content has been shared without permission.
