Peter Nolan The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) reported on August 5 that websites worldwide have been hacked over the last six weeks and are now hosting unwanted child sexual abuse photos that are being viewed by unsuspecting Internet surfers.

Thus far, the IWF has received 227 reports of dozens of websites hosting those images of child abuse, according to The Huffington Post.
Included among the hacked websites are several legal porn web sites that are inadvertently forwarding Internet users to the child abuse images.
Susie Hargreaves, chief executive of the IWF, told BBC Radio Five Live: “It means for the person whose accidentally stumbled across it, they’re seeing the worst of the worst without any idea of how it actually happened.”
Several recent high profile murder trials are bringing increased pressure to bear to act more vigorously against those promoting child porn, as youth advocates and experts contend that there’s a very real correlation between those who access images of child sexual abuse and “their obsessions and their actions.”
Mark Bridger, who killed April Jones, and Stuart Hazell, murderer of Tia Sharp, were both found to have accessed child and violent pornography …
The former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) agency, Jim Gamble, is one of those advocating for law enforcement agencies to more vigorously go after those intentionally viewing violent child abuse images online, especially considering that those viewers have historically been pretty good at covering their Internet tracks.
“These people will go to great lengths to hide who they are and to distribute to their network.”
