What are "OnlyFans leaks" and how do they occur?

"OnlyFans leaks" refer to the unauthorized distribution of content that is originally exclusive to the OnlyFans platform, which is a subscription-based service where creators can earn money by sharing art, photos, videos, and other personal content with their subscribers. These leaks occur when individuals breach OnlyFans' terms of service by copying or recording content without permission, often through screen capture methods or by hacking into accounts. Subsequently, the acquired content gets distributed across various internet platforms such as other adult websites, forums, and social media channels. Such unauthorized sharing violates copyright laws and the privacy of content creators, leading to both legal repercussions for the distributors and financial as well as personal consequences for the creators whose work is improperly disseminated.
