Europol has decided to add a competitive element to the international investigation. And I wasn't wrong…
An international event on combating criminal activity related to human trafficking in the online space has ended in the Netherlands. Interestingly, the operation took place in the form of a hackathon, which was attended by 85 law enforcement officers from 26 countries. The coordinator was Europol.
The police competition was very productive. Participants managed to check 371 platforms, including social networks, dating sites, forums and online stores. As a result, the teams identified about 30 resources where criminals are most likely to find their victims. Materials promoting sexual violence against children were found on 10 other websites. Experts collected data on hundreds of suspicious accounts, phone numbers and other leads, which are now being checked by investigators.
According to Europol experts, criminals are quickly adapting to new realities and adapting their tactics for the digital space. This becomes a particularly urgent problem in times of crisis and political tension.
The most vulnerable groups of the population are refugees and migrants, who are often victims of sexual and labor slavery. Many are lured by promises of a better life abroad or high-paying jobs.
Online recruitment of children poses a particular threat. Attackers can impersonate their peers to gain trust.
The findings of law enforcement officials from different countries have shown that the fight against cybercrime requires joint efforts of the international community.
Experts urge users to be vigilant and not trust dubious offers on the network. It is better to check the reliability of the company or person from independent sources. It is important for parents to monitor their children's online activity and conduct preventive conversations with them about safety rules.
