Claude Code found 17,342 of my daughter's photos on a server in Hangzhou. she's 16. she had her Hidden album locked with Face ID and thought nobody could see it. an app she downloaded from the App Store has been sending every photo on her phone to China for 10 months. i checked her two friends' phones the same night. same app. same server. her phone was lagging so i connected it to my MacBook. Claude Code flagged an app called "GlowCam - Beauty Filter" with 4.2 million downloads. it was uploading her entire photo library every 6 hours between 1am and 5am while she was sleeping. → app → "GlowCam - Beauty Filter" (4.2M downloads, 4.7 stars) → server → 112.17.***.63 → location → Hangzhou, China → total files uploaded → 17,342 → active since → January 2026 → permissions → camera, photos, microphone, location every photo she ever took. every screenshot. every image anyone ever sent her. everything from her Hidden album that she locked with Face ID thinking it was safe. Face ID only stops a person who picks up the phone. an app with Full Access to Photos opens the Hidden album like any other folder. there's no green dot for that. two of her friends were at our house that evening. i asked them to let me check their phones. both had GlowCam installed. → my daughter's iPhone 16 Pro Max → 17,342 files uploaded to Hangzhou → her friend's iPhone 15 → 9,740 files uploaded to the same server → her friend's iPhone 15 → 6,210 files uploaded since April 3 phones on my kitchen table all sending photos to the same folder in China. i asked Claude Code to trace where the files went. it found photos from all 3 phones on a site that sells stolen photo libraries sorted by age and location. → www.le***dumpcc → their city listed, folders tagged "16-19" → tme/ph***vault_cn (41,000+ subscribers) → folder link shared 2 weeks ago → buyer access → $8 per library someone paid $8 per library. 3 libraries from 3 teenage girls. Apple approved the app that made it possible. then Claude Code scanned every other app on all 3 phones and found 2 more doing the same thing. → "PhotoRoom — Background Eraser" → uploading to a server in Jakarta → "FaceTune Lite — Selfie Editor" → uploading to a server in Mumbai what Claude Code did on all 3 phones: → killed every upload process and purged all caches → revoked Full Access from every photo app → switched everything to "Limited Access" → filed DMCA takedowns on the site and the telegram channel → turned on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud on all 3 accounts the site took the photos down in 72 hours. the telegram channel is still up. i called both their parents that night. i told all 3 girls the apps were slowing their phones and i deleted them. none of them know what i actually found. if your kid has a beauty filter or photo editor on their phone right now there's a real chance it's doing exactly this. check Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos and count how many apps have "Full Access." every single one can read the Hidden album, the Recently Deleted folder, and every photo your kid has ever taken. my daughter had 11 apps with Full Access. she needed 2. the prompt is in the first reply. run it on every phone in your house tonight. takes 3 minutes. save it and send it to every parent you know.
