Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII) creation is a crime primarily focused against women. The motivations for its creation range from a desire to sexualize, shame, or extort. While law and policy around this violent behavior addressed authentic imagery that was recorded, leaked or stolen, now GenAI has revolutionized its creation. Threat actors are using AI tools trained upon pornographic models to produce synthetic sexual images of real people. All that is needed is a victim's photograph stolen from a social media or dating profile.
Overview
This Alice report, featured by the Daily Mail and Forbes, provides insights into how Generative AI has sparked a surge in this activity which is already affecting all platforms.
- Data on the rise of demand for GenAI services to create synthetic NCII;
- Threat actor TTPs used to generate synthetic NCII from social media and other online platforms;
- Information on threat actor circumvention of GenAI model safeguards;
- A sample of the clear web ecosystem that supports this dangerous economy.

Curiouser Soundbites: What a Former Google Cloud CISO Wants Leaders to Know About AI
Everyone's watching the flood of new AI vulnerabilities. Former Google Cloud CISO Phil Venables is watching something else, and it's the shift leaders can't afford to miss.
The Former Google Cloud CISO's Take on AI, Agents, and What Comes Next
There's a lot of noise around AI and security right now, and not many people who can cut through it the way Phil Venables can. He was CISO at Goldman Sachs, then the first CISO for Google Cloud, and he's now a partner at Ballistic Ventures. In this episode, he tells us why attackers scaling up worries him more than the vulnerabilities themselves, what trust even means when an agent is acting in your environment, and why the answer to most of this comes back to the same fundamentals we've leaned on for years.
