Description: Europol’s Operation Cumberland uncovered a global network distributing AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The operation has led to 25 arrests and 273 identified suspects across 19 countries. The AI-enabled abuse allows criminals to create exploitative content at scale with minimal expertise.
Editor Notes: Timeline notes: The first reported arrest was sometime in November 2024 of a Danish national, which led to the authorities uncovering an online platform distributing AI-generated CSAM. On February 26, 2025, Operation Cumberland was launched. The initial wave of actions reportedly led to 25 arrests, 33 house searches, and 173 seizures of electronic devices across 19 different countries. The investigation is ongoing.
