4. Disturbing New Trend: In Conversation With IWF Hotline Manager

  • Summary

  • Our analysts in the Hotline have discovered a disturbing new trend, what they’ve called iCAP sites or “invite child abuse pyramid” sites. These sites encourage users to share links to criminal child sexual abuse material, spamming social media platforms with them and increasing the risk of accidental exposure to this content by the public.

    Our Hotline Manager Tamsin McNally shares more details about this trend and warns people to not click on links coming from unknown sources.

    Tamsin McNally, Hotline Manager at the IWF, said: “We see the worst of the worst when it comes to child sexual abuse images online. We see images, videos, websites dedicated to hosting and selling this kind of material and websites that attempt to disguise this material. However this new trend is something very different. We call them iCap sites and is not something we’ve seen before.”
