Evening all,

I overhead a conversation in a pub this afternoon that disturbed me.
Basically, someone I know by sight, but not personally, I shall call
him Mr X, claimed in a conversation to a Mr Y, to have had "back door"
access via a hack from an IT savvy mate to a Russian pay per view
website that featured women and children being raped on demand.  He
claimed that he merely got into the site, did not view anything
illegal, and then informed "the Home Office" by anonymous e-mail,
about what he had found.

Now if all that he has said is true, then I guess he has not committed
an offence.  At the same time, if what he has said is true, and
somehow I doubt it, then I believe this website should be checked out.

I plan to call the police tomorrow and pass on this information.  My
question is: can I do this without Mr X discovering who dobbed him
in?  If he is telling the truth, then of course he has nothing to
fear.  But I would rather not be known as the individual who caused
him to have his computer seized for six months or more ...

Personally, I believe it to be a pile of tosh.

However, the IWF is your place.

You can put an 'anon' report in, but, as I guess they record IPs,
just take care on the details you give.

You will need the URL of the 'website'.

Be very careful, you could be getting set up.
