It was the largest takedown in Europol's history, and it’s not over yet.

Launched in 2021, the site lured users with free previews of low-quality CSAM before offering high-res depravity in exchange for payments, uploads, or cataloguing duties.

According to Europol, the server bust turned up 91,000 unique child abuse videos—many of them “previously unknown to law enforcement.”

Operation Stream, backed by 35 countries, including the US, has so far identified nearly 1,400 suspected CSAM consumers, fingered the collar of 79 of them, and protected 39 kids. More than 3,000 devices have been seized from grubby paws worldwide.

It turns out the “anonymous” crypto wasn’t worth much—police used forensic techniques to link transactions to banks and real names.

 Europol noted that many suspects were already on their radar. One clown in Spain made payments using his mum’s name, according to Todo Alicante, which also said a local computer scientist had an “abundant” stash of abuse vids and payment receipts.

CBS News reported that a “serial” abuser was also cuffed in the US. Europol said that more arrests are coming.
