Hacked servers host child abuse images

Dozens of websites are being hacked to host images of child sexual abuse which are being inadvertently viewed by internet users, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) warned, saying it received 227 reports of hijacked websites in the last six weeks, Itv,com reported.

Pressure to act against online images of child abuse has increased in recent months following high-profile murder trials.
April Jones' killer Mark Bridger and Stuart Hazell, murderer of Tia Sharp, were both found to have accessed child and violent pornography. Some experts have argued that there is a clear link between their obsessions and their actions.
Prime Minister David Cameron has threatened to impose tough new laws on internet giants if they fail to blacklist key search terms for horrific images by October as part a crackdown on online pornography.
