Finding your image on a leak or scraper site can feel overwhelming. Act quickly, stay calm, and focus on removal steps.
If the Image Is Intimate or Explicit
If the content shows nudity or sexual material shared without your consent, free, well-established resources can help — often faster than any single-site form.
- StopNCII.org — free hash-based removal — Generates a private hash of your image on your device and asks participating platforms (Meta, TikTok, Reddit, Bumble, and others) to block matching uploads. Your image never leaves your device.
- CCRI Crisis Helpline — free, confidential — The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative runs a U.S. helpline for victims of non-consensual intimate imagery, with trained advocates and legal referrals.
What To Do First
- Save Evidence — Take screenshots, copy URLs, and note dates before pages change.
- Do Not Engage — Avoid arguing in comments or messaging site operators.
- Request Removal — Use the site's abuse, privacy, or DMCA form if available.
- Report Reposts Elsewhere — If the same image appears on social platforms, use their reporting tools too.
- Tighten Your Accounts — Review privacy settings, linked apps, and reused usernames.
What "DMCA" Means
If you own the image, copyright law may allow you to request removal of unauthorized copies from hosting providers.
Stay Ahead
Leak content is often reposted. Premium members get recurring rescans and alerts for newly detected matches.
Important Note
Some scraper sites copy content automatically. A result may not mean someone personally targeted you. WaitWHO is not affiliated with StopNCII.org or the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative; the links above are provided as independent resources.
