I think this is more Australian police were on the ball quickest.The investigation was triggered after a hacker posted 99 child porn images on a European Web site, which attracted 12 million hits in just 76 hours, including 2,800 from Australian computers, police said.
Wouldn't it not be child porn if they are 18 years old? edit: disregard that, it was probably forced pornography or something. Still shouldn't be classed as child pornography though should it? Unless I'm missing somethingThe children in the images range from babies to 18 years of age.
Well, only 90 were arrested however there were 2800 visitors. This leads me to believe that alot of the hits were by accident, or unrelated searches. Also, I really doubt that word could've gotten around about some site with child porn on it to 12 million people in 3 days without a federal official finding it. Also, the way they've worded it makes it seem as though someone hacked a previously popular site and posted the child pornography, which has caused visitors of the site to see it, without actually intending to.Why do you think the Aussies are so smitten by child porn?
This is a huge ring for such a small population.

Yeah, definitely: Australians are so into child porn. They just found the guys, unlike other parts of the world that don't even bother.The investigation was triggered after a hacker posted 99 child porn images on a European Web site, which attracted 12 million hits in just 76 hours, including 2,800 from Australian computers, police said.
Some of the biggest child porn rings (that have been caught at least) have been in Europe. There was a big bust in Germany a little while ago. Who knows if this is actually indicative of the main rings though... Chances are, Asia has the most potential for child porn rings because of the sex slaves in parts of Southeast Asia (most notably Thailand).theelviscerator wrote:

the pics could have been hotlinked or something. The feds did say most of the people did see these pics inadvertently.Volatile wrote:

12 million hits in 76 hours? What kind of site was this? What was the normal traffic?
Don't tell me there are 12 million people that need to be systematically exterminated.
*granted there were probably several repeat hits.
Yea, from the scope of the hits listed in the article the Aussies pale in comparison to the rest.ZombieVampire! wrote:

I thought the AU chat thread was quiet.
There were a few links distributed by the FBI that were meant to be "child porn" sites that they would use to bait people, log their ip and track them down. That was the rumour anyway. For a short time (before the FBI realised that this idea wasn't exactly fantastic) some 4channers were sending the links around 4chan, convincing people to click on it so that they would be logged by the FBI etc etc.Spark wrote:

I suppose they must need concentrated doses of the most vile and hardcore things they can get a hold of to make up for the lack of highly available less hardcore and legal stuff.
