But we will never create a forum for child sex offenders, says Jon Rouse. When we do find them, we infiltrate and get as high as possible in the networks administrative structure to destroy it. The police deny they are responsible for what was shared on Childs Play while they ran it. Pictures of children from several other countries were also shared during the same period. It is not right for the police to promote these images, says the mother. If they are using her images, then she should be paid or compensated for their use. – My daughter should not be used as a bait. In the United States, a mother weeps when she hears that VG has found that pictures of her daughter being sexually abused were shared by members, while the police operated the site. But in doing so was it necessary for the police to run a child exploitation forum for nearly a year?
Department of Homeland Security and the police in Canada and Europe worked to unmask the leaders of the world’s largest online community of child sexual abusers.įrom the start, Operation Artemis had a clear objective: identifying victims and their abusers. Only now can we tell the story of how Task Force Argos, the U.S. When VG's computer expert, Einar Otto Stangvik, began investigating the website and its Nordic members in the autumn of 2016, we had no idea he would uncover a secret police operation. VG has known about the operation since January and followed it closely, partly by monitoring traffic on the dark web and partly by obtaining information from police, judicial authorities and other sources around the world. How far should the police go in the service of good? How many wrongs should investigators be permitted to commit in pursuit of justice? The undercover operation in Australia, Operation Artemis, was part of a wide-ranging international police investigation. Jon Rouse, detective inspector, and investigator Paul Griffiths (on the left). VG can now reveal that Task Force Argos infiltrated the realm of child abusers inside the dark web for almost a year – and that the police unit itself shared photos of children being sexually abused. Investigator Paul Griffiths has been in charge of numerous operations. They work for the Australian police’s spearhead into the dark web: Task Force Argos. VG has uncovered not only where but also from which computer the forum was run. Encryption was supposed to keep the whereabouts of the server and the people behind it secret. The website they operate is on the so-called “dark web”. Finding them was thought to be impossible. It’s understandable that Jon and Paul look shocked. It’s next to impossible to know, based on traffic analysis, who’s sent the message – or who visits a Tor service. Message arrives When the recipient gets the message, all layers of the package has been unwrapped. At each node, another layers of the package is decrypted, until the innermost message reaches the final recipient. The layers are decrypted The encrypted message is being sent to another node, then another. Each node knows nothing about the package it receives, beyond which node it was received from, and which node it’s to be sent to next. Each node decrypts one layer of the onion, which grants the node information about where the package will go next. The package is sent Once wrapped, the package is sent from you to a chain of nodes. When you want to send a message to another computer within the Tor network, this message is encapsulated a number of times.
The Onion Router got its name because the encryption is layered, like an onion. Messages are encapsulated All communication within the network is encrypted. The network consists of an array of «nodes», or computers, that are configured as mediators between users and sites. The Onion Router The most widely used dark web technology is The Onion Router – Tor – which has tens of thousands of web services. This makes it a popular technology for persons who wish to stay clear of law enforcement, either out of fear of being censored or jailed. A part of the internet where traffic between you and the websites you visit is encrypted in such a way that it’s very difficult for others to identify you.
