A hacktivist from Anonymous has taken down a fifth of the dark web's images of child abuse.
The hacker, who told Vice it is his first ever hack, breached Freedom Host II, the biggest host of the 'Dark Web', which can only be reached through an anonymous network, so people who access it can't be traced.
In total, more than10,000 hidden services were shut down and anyone trying to access them will see a message from Anonymous.
The message reads: "Hello, Freedom Hosting II, you have been hacked.
"We are disappointed...This is an excerpt from your front page 'We have a zero tolerance policy to child pornography - but what we found while searching through your server is more than 50% child porn.
"Moreover you host many scam sites, some of which are evidently run by yourself to cover hosting expenses.
"All your files have been copies and your database has been dumped (74GB of files and 2.3GB of database)
"We are selling all data (excluding cp) for 0.1 BTC. Up to January 31st you were hosting 10613 sites. Private keys are included in the dunp.
"We are Anonymous. We do not forgive. We do not forget. You should have expected us."
