**Executive summary:** Europol-backed Operation Alice (March 9–19) led by German authorities dismantled a massive dark-web fraud network that ran over 373,000 .onion sites advertising CSAM and cybercrime-as-a-service, seized servers (105 in Germany of an estimated 287), unmasked 440 customers with investigations into 100+ individuals, and issued an international arrest warrant for an alleged Chinese operator who is reported to have defrauded ~10,000 customers and earned roughly €345,000.
