In March 2025, cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered an unprotected database linked to GenNomis by AI-NOMIS, a South Korean company offering face-swapping and "nudify" AI services. The exposed 47.8GB dataset included nearly 100,000 files. Many depicted explicit deepfake images, some involving minors or celebrities. No personal data was found, but the breach was a serious failure in data security and consent safeguards in AI image-generation platforms.
What this means for youIf someone you know has had photos turned into explicit fakes, these services can leak them too. At work and in government, this shows why image-generation tools need strict data security and consent checks before they are trusted.
