Answer a few questions and get a personalized leak investigation playbook with links to free tools and Foddo Inspect.
When exclusive content leaks, the first hour decides whether you keep usable evidence. Creators who panic-post accusations or delete files often destroy the metadata and visual fingerprints that could have narrowed the source.
This free leak response playbook walks you through preservation, comparison, and subscriber tracing steps tailored to where you found the leak. It links directly to Foddo's browser tools for similarity checks and metadata audits before you escalate to Inspect on Windows.
Use the playbook as a repeatable template after every discovery. Pair it with invisible recipient IDs on future deliveries so the next investigation starts with a subscriber list instead of guesswork.
Generate a first-hour action plan after you find leaked content. Everything runs locally in your browser. No account and no file uploads.
You found the content on Telegram or private group. Download the original file if possible. Do not re-screenshot, crop, or run it through a filter app. Every re-export can destroy invisible marks and metadata traces.
Save the URL, channel name, post date, and a short note of what you observed. This supports later enforcement and helps you track re-emergence.
Check whether the leaked copy is visually the same image as the file you delivered. Resize and mild re-compression can still match; heavy crops and screenshots often will not.

Drop the leaked file into Foddo Inspect on your Windows machine to recover the recipient ID, timestamp, and payload fields when the mark survived the route it took. For token-based methods such as TrustMark, WAM, and Robust Transform, full recovery also depends on the local payload mapping from the same Foddo install that generated the files.
Get Foddo for InspectCross-check the recovered ID against your Patreon delivery records or CSV export. Confirm one subscriber received that exact copy before you take private enforcement action.
Contact the subscriber or platform through private channels. Revoke access, issue a refund if your policy requires it, and document what you found. Public call-outs without ID proof create legal and community risk.
Rotate delivery practices: metadata-safe exports, per-subscriber invisible IDs, validated CSV lists, and a repeatable pre-delivery checklist so the next leak is easier to attribute.
