Summary

US, French, and Italian authorities seized the domains CFAKE.com and SOCFAKE.com for hosting thousands of AI-generated or digitally altered images and videos depicting nude women, including politicians, royalty, and entertainers, without their consent. The sites allowed users to browse content by topics such as ‘rape’ and ‘forced,’ and were shut down under the TAKE IT DOWN Act following a coordinated international investigation. French authorities arrested Cyrille B., an administrator of CFAKE.com, and seized cryptocurrency funds linked to the site’s advertising revenue. The operation identified over 300,000 images and 7,000 videos depicting 14,000 individuals from various countries.
