About

Recent analysis by blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs suggests that a substantial number of sites are impersonating Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) vendors. Operating in a similar fashion to typical scammers, these entities are using CSAM to reach and extract funds from offenders.

During this session we will explore how the distinction between real CSAM vendors versus CSAM scammers can be a critical consideration for law enforcement. Investigators can potentially apply this distinction to assess the risks associated with a transaction or the urgency of a case for investigation.

Main topics:
• A breakdown of the characteristics of traditional CSAM vendors (including strict operational security measures).
• An exploration of CSAM scammers and an explanation of how they operate.
• Best practices for law enforcement on identifying a CSAM scammer (including common red flags and patterns within the blockchain)

This webinar is focused on the law enforcement sector and CSAM investigations. We recommend this webinar to law enforcement, regulators and legislators globally and private sector compliance titles. All registrants are subject to approval.
