Question: Hello. Do you think bikinioff stored the photos? Storing photos are meaningful for them? Do you think they will leak or blackmail photo owners(or users)? I want to reach them but i can’t. They just poofed. they erased themself.
I don’t have any specific information about how the Bikinioff bot stores the photos it processes, as I don’t have contact with its developer. However, I have experience in creating similar Undress bots and DeepNude-like websites and can share my insights.
When developing such applications, a programmer can implement methods to store files and user information. This capability is straightforward for experienced developers. That said, I believe there’s a 99% chance that they don’t store photos for the following reasons:
- Storage Costs: Storing large numbers of files requires enormous storage capacity. Using a personal hard drive or cloud services incurs significant costs, especially since thousands or even millions of people worldwide use such bots daily (reference: DeepNude Image Generation Analysis).
- Automatic Deletion: Developers often include automatic photo deletion mechanisms to free up disk space after processing.
Risks and How to Address Them
You may have heard of hackers using undress apps similar to Bikinioff to infect users’ computers (Russian Hackers Hide Malware in DeepNude Sites). However, this is a different kind of attack than what you’re asking about. To protect yourself, avoid downloading suspicious files and monitor any changes to your computer.
In the last two years, as I’ve followed this topic, there have been instances of blackmail involving AI-processed photos. However, in all cases, the perpetrators were not the app developers but individual users who used the photos to extort acquaintances. They either took these photos themselves or downloaded them from the victim’s social media accounts.
How to Protect Yourself from AI blackmailing?
Be mindful of the content you post online. Avoid sharing photos that AI algorithms can easily manipulate. For example:
- Use poor lighting conditions.
- Wear oversized clothing that obscures your body’s true contours.
- Use complex poses with strategic hand and leg positions.
If You Still Want to Use Such Apps But Fear Blackmail:
- Ensure anonymity:
- Use a VPN.
- Create a new email account (e.g., ProtonMail).
- Pay with cryptocurrency.
- Upload photos without identifiable features:
- Avoid photos with your face, like this:
If you follow these precautions, the app’s developers will not be able to identify you or misuse your photos. Stay cautious and use such tools responsibly!
