PseudoDNA: Identifying Critical Vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s PhotoDNA
Researchers from the COSIC group at KU Leuven have uncovered major security weaknesses in PhotoDNA, a technology widely used to detect Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online. The system is currently used by major platforms including Google, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Microsoft, and is deployed at a global scale.

“Natural collisions in Apple’s NeuralHash & Microsoft’s PhotoDNA show worrying false positives/negatives in widely deployed perceptual hashing”
At Facebook 2013-16 it was a discreet secret within parts of the Trust & Safety team that PhotoDNA “had problems with collisions but we are not allowed to talk about them” – discussion prevented by Microsoft license terms but also because criticising any “child safety” technology was an industry taboo.
I’m glad this is coming out now:

Natural collisions in Apple’s #NeuralHash and Microsoft’s #PhotoDNA show worrying false positives/negatives in widely deployed perceptual hashing. Our findings highlight severe risks for privacy and civil liberties at scale. Watch this short demo: 🎥 https://t.co/bWxVTKlZEC
Des chercheurs de la KULeuven ont percé l’algorithme ultrasecret de PhotoDNA, la technologie de Microsoft utilisée par toutes les plateformes pour débusquer les pédocriminels. Quelques secondes suffisent pour le contourner. Ou accuser des innocents.

Our #PhotoDNA robustness study features in today’s discussion on large‑scale scanning technologies.
Science matters.
