French and US authorities shut down websites linked to a platform known as NudeLeaksTeens (NLT) that sold hacked and stolen sexually explicit images and videos. The operation is described by officials as targeting sites offering private content from more than 17,000 women and girls. An administrator is reported arrested in northern France, and prosecutors describe a coordinated raid by French authorities with US counterparts including the FBI.
According to outlets citing government statements, the action involves seizure of the relevant online domains connected to NLT, with the US side announcing the domains belonged to the platform. French prosecutors add that multiple websites were involved, and Channel NewsAsia reports that two brothers were arrested in France. While the outlets differ in how many sites and suspects they name, all describe the same cross-border law-enforcement effort to disrupt the distribution of stolen intimate material and to pursue those suspected of running the operation.
