The Internet Watch Foundatiom have published their Annual Report for 2008.

The report reveals a fall of nearly 10% in the number of international websites with child sexual abuse content but warns against complacency, pointing to the serious nature of the images which are often carried on commercial websites. "These websites, although reducing in number, represent an extremely serious problem", said IWF Chief Executive, Peter Robbins OBE, QPM. "The extensive intelligence networks we have with partner Hotlines and law enforcement colleagues around the world to support international action are making a real difference but the sophisticated way these websites operate still makes it a highly complex and global challenge."
