An AI image generator startup left more than 1 million images and videos created with its systems exposed and accessible to anyone online, according to new research reviewed by WIRED.
The “overwhelming majority” of the images involved nudity and were “depicted adult content,” according to the researcher who uncovered the exposed trove of data, with some appearing to depict children or the faces of children swapped onto the AI-generated bodies of nude adults.
Multiple websites—including MagicEdit and DreamPal—all appeared to be using the same unsecured database, says security researcher Jeremiah Fowler, who discovered the security flaw in October.
At the time, Fowler says, around 10,000 new images were being added to the database every day.
“SocialBook is not connected to the database you referenced, does not use this storage, and was not involved in its operation or management at any time,” a SocialBook spokesperson tells WIRED.
