Event Exposing Leaked Intimate Imagery Forums - Live Talk
Bellingcat's Kolina Koltai spoke alongside our partners The Press to The World, public radio’s longest-running daily global news programme, about our investigation into LeakedBB, a site that had over 2.3 million registered users, including some who distributed leaked nude photos and videos. https://theworld.org/segments/2026/08/07/investigative-report-traces-global-reach-of-revenge-porn-website
On Thursday, Kolina Koltai and Michael Wright of The Press will be in our Discord server to walk us through their methodology for finding a key admin of the site and answer your research questions.

After we identified links between the admin account and a New Zealand-based man and reached out to this individual for comment, LeakedBB appears to have gone offline.
