Data breach affecting AI image generator, exposing sensitive images 

Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler recently discovered a non-password-protected database containing over one million sensitive records belonging to Magic Edit, a popular AI image generator tool developed by BoostInsider Inc.

In a few words, the publicly accessible database:

  • exposed 1,099,985 images and video files;
  • included face-swapped images on AI-generated bodies converted into sexually explicit images;
  • contained unaltered images of real individuals, possibly uploaded as references and presumably without those individuals’ knowledge or consent.

Jeremiah published his detailed findings on the ExpressVPN blog which can be found here: https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/magicedit-data-exposed/
