Project Compass is Europol’s new playbook for taking on The Com

Project Compass, a Europol-led operation with 28 partner countries, targets "The Com," a sprawling network of minors and young adults involved in cybercrime, extortion and coerced production of child sexual abuse material; the initiative has yielded 30 arrests, aided identification of 179 perpetrators, and highlighted the need for sustained international information-sharing to safeguard victims and disrupt the group's activities.
