In a sensational twist, the High Court in London has opted to maintain an interim injunction amidst a fierce legal battle between rival software companies catering to agencies managing OnlyFans creators. The dramatic case involves allegations of extensive data scraping from a competitor's system, raising critical questions about data security and competitive practices in this rapidly evolving industry.
The case revolves around accusations against a rival software platform accused of unlawfully accessing and copying confidential data from Infinni Innovations' servers. The claimant, a Spanish tech company, operates Infloww – a CRM tool for agencies managing OnlyFans creators. Such platforms are crucial for handling vast creator accounts, maintaining subscriber communications, and analyzing performance metrics.
The defendants, operating under the banner of OnlyMonster through entities in England and Cyprus, allegedly carried out cyber intrusions between December 2024 and November 2025. These actions purportedly involved copying 'fan notes' and analytics data, pivotal for persuading Infloww's user base to switch allegiances.
“The High Court's decision underscores the serious nature of the claims and the importance of protecting sensitive data in the digital age,” commented a legal expert following the case closely.
Initially, in December 2025, the Commercial Court issued an interim injunction without notice to halt further access to the claimant's servers and to restrict use of the extracted data. When the case was revisited, the defendants sought to overturn the injunction, claiming insufficient grounds for the claimant's case and procedural missteps.
Fast forward to January 2026, and the defendants acknowledged the presence of a serious issue to be tried, although they still pushed for the injunction's dismissal. The claimant, however, presented compelling cyber investigation findings and evidence from a strategic "honeytrap" operation, reinforcing their claims of unauthorized data access.
In a detailed judgment, Mr Justice Saini ruled against discharging the injunction, asserting that the claimant had established a plausible case for breach of confidence. While acknowledging some shortcomings in the claimant's initial presentation, he emphasized that the court had not been misled in any significant manner.
The court's decision means the interim protection remains in place, with defendants giving assurances not to further access the claimant's systems or use critical analytics data. As this gripping legal saga unfolds, the injunction stands firm, maintaining the status quo while the case moves towards trial.
