A Network of AI ‘Nudify’ Sites Are a Front for Notorious Russian Hackers


Fin7 has made multiple ‘nudify’ sites that promise to use AI to undress photos of people but which are actually vehicles for malware, according to researchers. 404 Media found one advertised on one of the web's biggest porn aggregators.

The researchers also believe the sites are run by Fin7, a notorious Russian cybercrime group that has previously even set up fake penetration testing services to trick people into hacking real victims on their behalf. The news indicates that services for producing AI-generated nonconsensual intimate content are becoming enticing enough that hackers feel it is worth the time and effort to build fake versions they can then use to hack people.
