SUMMARY:Op Blackwrist: Overcoming transaction laundering challenges
DESCRIPTION:Op Blackwrist\, led by INTERPOL\, was an international cross-agency investigation prompted by the discovery of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on a website which required a paid subscription.  \n\n\n\nThe operation identified a network of offenders committing child sexual abuse\, with some perpetrators travelling to Thailand to carry out the abuse. The heinous acts were then recorded and uploaded onto a website\, where access to the material was commercialised and made available globally.  \n\n\n\nTracking the consumption of the CSAM on the webpage posed a significant challenge to authorities\, as access to the site and its content required a pay-per-view membership through an unregulated closed currency platform\, TrueMoney.  \n\n\n\nPresented by ICMEC Australia’s new CEO Colm Gannon\, who was an investigator on the case\, our February Brown Bag will provide an overview of the operation. Colm’s presentation will focus on the challenges of closed currency platforms and how transaction laundering remains a key modus operandi for digital child trafficking in the commercialisation of child sexual abuse and exploitation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColm Gannon\, CEO of ICMEC Australia\, is a seasoned professional with a strong commitment to child protection and extensive expertise in digital safety\, cybercrime investigations\, and software development. With 20 years in law enforcement\, he has been involved in national and international investigations and prosecutions relating to online harms\, child sexual exploitation\, violent extremism\, and harmful online communication.   \n\n\n\nPreviously a Product Manager at Rigr AI involved in the software development process\, policy development\, and impact assessments\, Colm’s wealth of experience positions him at the intersection of technology and child protection.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n26 February 2025 \n\n\n\nWednesday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm – 1:30pm AEDT / Sydney  \n\n\n\n11:30am – 12:30pm AEST / Brisbane time  \n\n\n\n9:30am – 10:30am AWST / Perth time \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline event \n\n\n\nvia Microsoft teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nThis event has already taken place.
