FBI, French authorities seize deepfake CSAM-for-sale websites
FBI and French authorities seized two CSAM-for-sale sites and arrested a 25-year-old alleged administrator.
The FBI and French prosecutors shut down NudeLeaksTeens and NLTVIDS, sites that sold stolen and AI-generated child sexual abuse material. A 25-year-old French resident was arrested as the alleged primary administrator. Investigators say some material was taken from hacked Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook accounts, and one 189GB collection was priced at $64.90. The filings also cite the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which criminalizes nonconsensual intimate deepfakes.
