“The study found more than 10,000 of the 12,000 sexually explicit videos and images it tracked were copied from an original source and plastered onto public websites. The sexual material in the study was first uploaded privately or anonymously to the Internet, mostly on social networking and webcam sites, and then harvested by so-called “parasite websites.” These sites crawl the Internet in search of sexual content, specifically from young people, and in some cases steal passwords or hack accounts to gain access. The IWF found 68 separate “parasites” websites hosting the material it tracked.”
