Men Are Buying Hacking Tools to Use Against Their Wives and Friends

  Are we calling stable diffusion a hacking tool now? What about image editors like GIMP?

  This is just sexual harassment/abuse, which was always there, moving along to new tools. The tool isn’t the problem, the people are.

    Decreasing friction is a problem though. In the past, you needed at least some basic skills to e.g. photoshop a compromising photo of someone (and quite a lot of experience to do so convincingly), whereas current AI tools can do this far better with no skills required.

      Sharing images without consent is hardly a new thing either and requires no more skill than copy/paste. Perhaps that would have been a better example to go with.

    Agreed. Not only are harassment and abuse not new, but using actual hacking tools to do it is old news too. Maybe the article is just trying to bring it back to attention.

      All I hear from that context is “slow news day.”

    I agree.

    • Men don’t do this, duchbags do.
    • People don’t do this, predators do.
    • Humans don’t do this, blights on the species do.

    That’s implied in the use of men as a descriptor.

      In that sense it implies the habit being common. It’s not.

  First off, the story doesn’t back up the hed. All we know for certain is that these “hacking tools” are being offered. Apparently, some of these channels charge for entry …

  Often, the group’s report says, access to Telegram channels would cost between €20 ($23) and €50 or have subscriptions starting at €5 per month.

  I’m not excusing the exploitative nature of these groups, but this sounds more like grifting than hacking. I expect better from Wired. Also, we’ve known for years now that Telegram is leaky as fuck.

  The whole situation is a bit baffling. “Here’s something everyone knows has been going on for a while” ain’t exactly stop-press.
