| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77575869 Belgium04/24/2019 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Almost half of the child sexual abuse images reported to the Internet Watch Foundation last year were hosted in the Netherlands, the organisation says. Quoting: keybored It confirmed more than 105,000 web addresses were connected to illegal images in 2018, with 47% of the content hosted in the Netherlands. It warned that the country was becoming a "safe haven for child sexual abuse". The Dutch government has acknowledged an increase in reports of child abuse images and has pledged to tackle it. Such material should be "expunged from the internet," it said in a report early in 2018. [link to www.bbc.com (secure)] How hard can it be to shut down the sites? The FBI prefers to take them over and run them themselves, even making improvements in servers and such -- all so they can bust 0.12% of the users |

Shuting them down doesnt create the moral panic that allows the Big Brother to pass laws that give them more control and money. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75309359  Netherlands04/24/2019 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | well known to anyone familiar with internet crime :| i.e. a lot of spam and DDoS come out of those same IPs in the Netherlands. Quasi Networks (aka Ecatel / Novogara / REBA Communications / etc.) and the Expoitation of Women [link to medium.com (secure)] AS29073: Why does anyone peer with these schmucks? [link to mailman.nanog.org (secure)] current peers. notice all the Dutch flags: [link to bgp.he.net (secure)] [link to bgp.he.net (secure)] IF people were hosting these sites from their home internet connection or a reputable hosting provider, it would be easy. Law enforcement could just lookup what ISP/host owns the offending IP, call them up, and ask for the client's personal info. Unfortunately, we're talking about whole AS's (autonomous systems) that are complicit in organized crime. These are high-level networks (like an ISP), that access the internet through physical data cables connected to other high-level networks (called "peering"), often across national borders. They register incorrect contact info for their IPs [with their local internet registry], ....and depend on the registry being too lazy to do anything about it. A conversation with RIPE NCC regarding Quasi Networks LTD (AS29073) [link to badpackets.net (secure)] Mursch: Why does RIPE NCC require the burden of proof to fall to the victim of network abuse when the RIPE Database contains invalid or false information for an organization? Quoting: Laurens: At the moment that they become a member they sign an agreement in which they confirm that they will keep the contact details up-to-date. We consider contact details valid until proven otherwise and this is why we ask to provide evidence that contact details are invalid. Laurens: We always recommend to contact the relevant authorities if you are the victim of a crime. ... In my case, the attacks from Quasi Networks will continue unabated with no regulatory power from RIPE NCC to stop them. I have contacted [email protected] for assistance but have not received a response. So, law enforcement (LE) could just contact Quasi's peer networks then, right? Well..... A) Peer networks in other countries/jurisdictions are going to want to "rat out" their peers (and lose all the money in their peering contract) by responding to such a request. B) Even if one does, LE raiding 1 data center just means the network will fallback to their other peers, until the connection can be repaired. The internet is setup to support this game of "whack-a-mole" with law enforcement. (that's my understanding, anyway) Quasi Networks (and their various other names & cohorts) are just organized crime. They've been doing this for many years. Why doesn't INTERPOL get involved? no clue. but they love peering in the Netherlands. Maybe there is corruption involved. |

Most of it is Russian and eastern bloc crime syndicates. Dont exactly coiperate with the authorities. |
