Scammers are exploiting hacked government websites to promote advertisements for alleged “leaked” OnlyFans content. Surprisingly, the resulting surge in copyright complaints from adult creators is inadvertently assisting in identifying and removing these malicious sites.
According to Wired, scammers have been compromising government websites – the article does not specify which governments or how many – and using them to host ads directing users to pages promising “leaked” OnlyFans content. This tactic leverages the credibility of official-looking domains to trick people into clicking on potentially harmful links.
The unexpected consequence is that creators on OnlyFans are filing thousands of copyright complaints related to these unauthorized advertisements. These complaints, while intended to protect their content, are effectively flagging the hacked websites as malicious. “They’re accidentally making these sites disappear,” Wired reports. The sheer volume of claims helps security researchers and website monitoring services identify compromised servers.
The article highlights a peculiar intersection between online adult content creation, cybersecurity threats, and copyright enforcement. While the scammers aim to exploit user curiosity, their actions are triggering a defensive response from the very creators whose images they’re misusing, leading to the unintended removal of hacked websites.
