A university website as a spam showcase: the case of "AI girlfriend" apps

By Universidad de Córdoba (UCO) · 14 October 2026.

This item is not news. The material received amounts to a promotional headline («AI Girlfriend App Premium Features AI Girlfriend Download 2026») and an address hosted on the Universidad de Córdoba's domain. There is no text, no figures and no specific product we can verify.

The striking part is the URL. It points to a virtual tour page for a university service and carries a long base64-encoded parameter. Once decoded, it appears to contain an instruction to load a configuration file from an external server. This is our reading of the string, not technical confirmation of an attack.

Our reading: it looks like a common SEO spam (search engine optimisation) technique. The reputation of an institutional .es domain is exploited to slip in pages promising downloads of «virtual girlfriends». There is no indication that the university promoted anything. Most likely its virtual tour viewer accepts parameters without filtering them, although we cannot confirm this from this material.

The underlying lesson is this. Interest in AI virtual companions is real and growing, and it attracts those who exploit it with misleading links. Anyone looking for these apps should be wary of downloads coming from domains unrelated to the subject. That is why we neither link to nor analyse the page's content.

We will not elaborate further: without verifiable facts, a short, honest piece is worth more than filler.
