The practice of nudify refers to the use of artificial intelligence systems to virtually undress flesh-and-blood people through image manipulation to make the subjects appear as if they were naked. Following the rapid spread of AI, the application of this technology for malicious purposes has skyrocketed, also relying on the practice of deepfaking to produce revenge porn.

Recently, it appears that more than a dozen sites providing nudify services have added the possibility of logging in to their activity via the login options offered by Google, Apple, Discord, and other famous companies. Following this discovery, a certain sense of urgency grew regarding methods to put an end to the use of these services.

Unfortunately, these sites (as well as online bots that allow the same kind of content to be produced) appear to be the main entertainment of adolescent male users - many have gone so far as to generate non-consensual pornographic images of their classmates.
