This happened to my wife too and her IG profile was used to create a deepfake on onlyfans

I haven't even thought about them using the content across platforms now that they have the video samples already... but perhaps the followers are more important. You only really hear about celebrity deep-fakes on the news.

Had an account not hacked, but copied pictures (only using bikini pictures), choose a similar username and followed all followers with an invite to a porn site (though I did not follow the link to see, it could not have been more explicit in what was being offered). Instagram "reviewed the report and decided it did not violate their terms of service" and refused to take any further action.

  If they’re reposting one’s own pictures, a DMCA claim would be a good way to solve the issue. It shouldn’t be needed, but Instagram will obey the claim

  This happened to someone I know as well. The only reason they knew about it was some of us saw it and alerted her. Really messed up stuff.

Was the deepfake successful on onlyfans?

  I, too, would like to know more about his wife's deep-faked onlyfans video.

    That's a Reddit thing we don't really do here. Re-read your comment without the context of that Reddit snow-clone, and it sounds really creepy.

      I want to know what the ROI is There is plenty of meat market content here no need to make an arbitrary line, its on topic here, deep fake, compute time, SaaS, account engagement, revenue It lets us know how rational the incentive is

        What's the incentive in badly written phishing emails that look like jokes? Here it is the same, and I don't expect the quality to be much better.

        they are funneling subscribers to the onlyfans account who will pay monthly and tip I wonder how effective it is, how much they make What their overhead costs are like

How does these scammers get their hands on the money? Doesn't Onlyfans require photo ID and personal banking details?

  A fake ID and a hacked bank account?

  You'd be surprised at how many people upload pictures showing their id to public sites. And even if it's not that, then it might be an inside job by a family member, friend, co-worker, etc who had once enough access to the id to snap a pic of it. Also, chances are that if you can convincingly create deepfakes in general you can (deep)fake a picture of an id to a degree it will be accepted by OnlyFans and other services, especially if these ids are from places the staff might not be entirely familiar with. Do you know for example what a Columbian or Polish or Turkish or Cambodian id should look like and what security features that you could see on a mere picture of it should be present, if there are even such features? I've seen such id fakes done in practice, though that wasn't related to OnlyFans. That's why when I was in a position where I sometimes had to verify identities, I would not accept pictures of ids, I would ask for a "proof-of-life"/"timestamp" style pictures you see commonly used on pseudonymous sites like reddit or 4chan to establish authenticity of a poster. Those are not impossible to fake, but a lot harder, especially if you limit the time in which the other party can respond. I don't know if OnlyFans adopted such a method of verification by now, but I know they used to accept just ids. I also online-know a guy who says he used to run an OnlyFans scam where he would seek out underrated accounts, steal their content and republish it under his own accounts. That obviously required he create a lot of verified accounts with valid ways to pay out, of course. He never went into details on that. He could be lying about the thing, but when it came to other things he claimed over the years, a lot of it was verifiable true, so I don't know. You can also buy verified OnlyFans accounts on the black market (hacked usually) or compromise accounts yourself. A lot of OnlyFans accounts are completely inactive, abandoned by the original owners, so they will probably not even notice if it gets taken. From there you can replace all the account content as you please, and I believe in the case of OnlyFans even change the user name and probably update the payout method and information as well. As for banking information... that's harder, but there are probably some ways left. The question is if the OnlyFans account in this case was even made for financial gain, or just to cause humiliation, in which case subscriptions might have been free or the money might have never been collected by whoever created the account.
