Identifying a substantial Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) site through the use of cryptocurrency on our platform.

In a significant development, the investigation into the largest child sexual abuse material (CSAM) website on the darkweb was initiated by a tip from UK law enforcement. The website, known for hosting a wide range of illicit content, has been under scrutiny due to its extensive operations.

Our website, committed to supporting efforts to disrupt online child exploitation and bring those responsible to justice, has proactively shared leads with law enforcement partners worldwide. We have also offered support to law enforcement agencies for the investigation of the CSAM website through Reactor and Data Solutions.

The cryptocurrency payments infrastructure of the website, which has over 5,800 addresses, has been a key focus of the investigation. Since July 2022, over $530,000 in crypto payments have been funneled through the website. The website offers multiple paid membership levels and uses QR codes for crypto payments, making it easier for users to access and fund the site.

The continued operations of the website suggest that it may still be active. Its activities surpass the scale of the 2017 "Welcome to Video" case, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

Our website will continue to monitor cryptocurrency fund movements related to the CSAM website's infrastructure. Compliance teams may see an increase in Know Your Transaction (KYT) alerts related to the CSAM website.
