Description: At the end of August 2024, South Korean authorities began investigating a significant surge in the creation and dissemination, often via Telegram, of explicit deepfake pornography created without consent from the stolen social media content of female classmates, teachers, and neighbors.
Editor Notes: In one report, seven suspects were arrested, six of whom were teenagers. Another report mentions a graduate of Seoul National University in his 40s. One of the Telegram channels dedicated to the deepfakes was reported to have 220,000 members. One report indicates that between January 1 and August 25, 781 deepfake victims sought assistance from the state agency handling digital sex crimes, with 288 of those victims, or approximately 37%, being minors. This incident ID is for cataloguing the reporting on this pronounced flurry of deepfake pornography incidents in South Korea at the end of summer 2024.
Alleged: Unnamed deepfake technology developers developed an AI system deployed by Unnamed deepfake creators, which harmed South Korean women.
