Targeted by scammers, adult content creators are getting hacked government sites removed

OnlyFans creators are fighting piracy and exposing hacked government sites

A dark mystery hand typing on a laptop computer at night.

Adult creators routinely battle scammers and pirates stealing their pictures, videos, and sometimes even identities. Now, that exhausting cleanup job is producing an unexpected side effect that involves cleaning up government websites.

Scammers have been compromising trusted .gov and .edu domains and stuffing them with pages advertising supposedly leaked OnlyFans content. This has even lead to hacked government and university websites are disappearing from Google Search. The pages frequently contain no stolen material at all. Instead, they use popular creators’ names to lure people toward dating scams or other kinds of suspicious advertisement and malicious downloads.

I found a free universal TV remote app for iOS and Android that doesn’t spam ads

AnyRemote turns your phone into a TV remote without forcing a login or subscriptions

AnyRemote Universal remote app on iPhone 17 Pro Max

I have been looking for a universal TV remote app that just works without being annoying. Most of the ones I tried had some kind of catch. Some asked me to create an account before I could even connect to a TV. Some showed annoying un-skippable ads before a simple action. A few locked basic controls like volume behind a paywall, while others simply did not work as advertised.

In that search, I recently came across AnyRemote, a free universal TV remote app available on both iOS and Android. It turns your phone into a remote for your TV or streaming device without forcing a login or making you pay for the core buttons.
