The Dutch police have taken dozens of servers offline, where millions of movies and photos of child porn were exchanged. The servers were owned by two companies. The research collaborated with the Thai police, who arrested the owner of the two companies in that country. A manager has been arrested in Bulgaria.
The two men are of Moldavian origin. According to the police, they knew that child porn was exchanged on their servers, but they did nothing against it.
Customers were given the opportunity to upload videos and earn money by distributing videos. According to the police, one of the companies had more than 50,000 paying users from 119 countries. Before the servers are turned off, the police have copied customer files. These data are handed over to Europol, so that the police in various countries can use this information in their own investigations.
A total of 87 servers in the Netherlands were shut down. Seven of them were seized because they were used to activate other servers in, for example, foreign countries.
