🚨 A new report from @EU_ScienceHub finds 966 Italian-speaking CSAM offenders surveyed on the dark web. 🔍 Findings reveal early exposure & increased risk of contacting children online after viewing #CSAM. 🔗 Read the full report here:

Last week in Warsaw, we supported a Joint Event to explore #AI in law enforcement. Key topics included: . 🔍 Admissibility of results supported by AI tools.🧠 AI in investigations.⚖️ AI Act compliance. We also led a session on contextualised decryption for lawful data access.

Knowledge is power - on both sides. Criminals use it to harm, but you can use it to protect yourself. Stay informed, stay safe. You can read the full IOCTA 2025 report below:

So what can we do? The IOCTA 2025 calls for a coordinated policy response at EU level, and emphasises on the need to boost digital literacy with increased efforts to inform and educate the general public – and particularly young people – on how to protect your data.

End-to-end encrypted messaging apps (E2EE) are increasingly obstructing investigations. While encryption protects users’ privacy, these apps are also allowing criminals to sell our illegally acquired data while remaining completely anonymous and off the grid.

Being tech-savvy is no longer needed. From stolen data to fraud tutorials, the rise of ‘crime-as-a-service platforms’ makes it easier for new criminals to sell our stolen data to be weaponised for extortion, identity theft, and abuse – and even children are victims.

The rise in Gen AI makes social engineering attacks more powerful and accurate. From automating coercion and generating deepfakes to tailoring scam messages to the victim’s cultural context, AI gives cybercriminals a toolkit to steal personal information for horrific means.

Our data, the proliferating use of AI, and cybercrime, are all connected. Europol’s #IOCTA25 report published this week has shed some light into the most pressing cyberthreats we face today, and these are the key findings: ⬇️THREAD⬇️
