Seems like TOR is nothing but a honeypot for paedophiles these days. "TOR Anonymity" lmao. Once a server is fucked, so are you :)

More than 100 child abuse victims have been rescued by Queensland police over the past year, after they took over managing a dark web forum. Task Force Argos detectives reportedly took over the site 'Child's Play' to gather details on about 3,000 members and identify victims. The operation led to a number of arrests overseas, including lawyers, military personnel and IT workers.

Australian police secretly operated one of the dark web’s largest child abuse sites for almost a year, posing as its founder in an undercover operation that has triggered arrests and rescues across the globe.

The sting has brought down a vast child exploitation forum, Childs Play, which acted as an underground meeting place for thousands of paedophiles. The police involvement was uncovered by journalists with the Norwegian newspaper, VG, who spent months tracing Childs Play’s origins and monitoring public posts.

The paper’s investigation, shared with the Guardian, led them to the offices of Queensland police’s Taskforce Argos, a specialist child abuse unit, in January.

Unwittingly, they had stumbled on to a sensitive police operation.

The Argos squad had quietly taken over Childs Play three months earlier, assuming the identity of its founder following his arrest for the rape of a four-year-old girl in the US. To maintain their cover, undercover detectives were posting and sharing abuse material on Childs Play. Other users continued to post and view images while the site was under police control.

It was at least the second operation of its type conducted from the unit’s Brisbane headquarters.

Good, maybe most of the world's missing and exploited children can be found and returned to they're families.

Most of the worlds missing children? You realise there are probably a few million of them... but i know what you mean.

If it saved ten kids from captivity it was worth doing it.
I say most because some commit suicide or die of stress or other causes while in the hands of their captors.

I hope that it wpuld resolve most missing persons but sadly it wont even scratch the surface.
The scale of it is probably off the charts somewhere, these shitty websites that peddle it and all the faggots on it are a good start though.
I feel sorry for the cops who have to watch that shitfest and the stuff they produce... that's gotta take its toll on anyone, either rage or absolute disgust while you pretend to be like them and pull the MAC address of every motherfucker you can find with some crazy ass 0-day law enforcement trojan/spyware kit.

Philly has a keep kids safe hotline number where you can call and report sightings of missing children or get info on how parents can remind kids what to do when online or confronted by a stranger.

Except there isn't a zero day exploit like that. Hence the reason it took a year of controlling the website in order to get only about 1% of the members. Had a zero day exploit been used the investigation would've been wrapped up in days/week not a year. It was like previous site takeovers going through private messages, exchanging private messages fishing for personal information, corrupted files being uploaded, possibly allowing JavaScript and even Flash embeds basically nailing the careless and noobs. The Norwegian article details alot.

As for a server being taken over that only screws the admin of sites if the security set up is lacking. As for downloads if a file is booby trapped it can reveal the true IP but only if the file is downloaded and played. No site to date that has been taken over has been engineered to reveal all users no matter how long the take over has lasted. That would be hacking gold for law enforcement if that were possible.
