Ceop Website Form 'could have put children at risk'

Risk ''hypothetical'' ''Madeleine now aged six'' "We absolutely support the McCann family" says CEOPs.

I've had a word or two to say myself, even going so far as to say it in pictures.

Ceop website form 'could have put children at risk'
10 April 2011

An investigation is under way after a web page - set up to protect children online - was found to be insecure.

A member of the public found a form on the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre's website - to report alleged offenders - was unencrypted.

Security experts have described the breach of data as a serious error which could have put children at risk.

The agency told the BBC the risk was hypothetical and it has now been fixed so any crime can be reported safely.

There will now be a full investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office.

The unencrypted pages meant personal details entered on the site could have been visible to anyone with a sinister motive.

Ceop was set up in 2006 to help find and convict paedophiles, as well as working to keep young people safe from online predators.

It has run several campaigns and educational programmes for schools designed to alert children to such dangers.

A plan to merge Ceop with a new National Crime Agency in 2013 was announced in July by the Home Secretary Theresa May.

The decision prompted the resignation of its former head, Jim Gamble. BBC

I think Jim Gamble wasn't ready to have his work under the kind of scrutiny that would have been likely when CEOP was merged with the larger organisation.

They produced a form and didn't bother or think to encrypt it? I just don't know what to say about that. Hardly the work of child protection professionals.

IT was 81 days, an ocean and continent away from the place where his daughter was abducted but Gerry McCann found a strange reassurance here yesterday.

But the global web of paedophilia highlights the risk our most vulnerable face. The centre recently exposed an internet network involving 77 countries. In the UK alone there are more than 100,000 child porn sites. As a business it is, as Gerry said: "Easy, cheap, very profitable and with little risk."

The cooperation between the British and Portuguese authorities “to ensure” as CEOP puts it, “the full range of expertise available for every possible avenue of investigation” is also typical of a new era of international sharing between police hunting the predators.

http://www.newsmonster.co.uk/heartbreakers/inside-the-police-operation-tracking-the-abductors-of-madeleine-mccann.html

This is about us using technology to make the world smaller,” CEOP’s founder and director Jim Gamble once told me. “You will be caught,” he warns predators. “There is no place to hide.”

Gamble brought the same zeal he deployed as a gruff police commander on the streets of Belfast during ‘The Troubles’ to the hunt for worldwide predators.

As with all these American stories, I find them not without a touch of irony.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_to_the_disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann

Madeleine's father had already made a brief trip to the UK on 20 May 2007 to help finalise the campaign for the search for his daughter.[11] Gerry McCann visited the United States between 22 and 25 July when he met US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and experts from the National and International Centres for Missing and Exploited Children. During interviews on network television programmes Gerry was forced to defend leaving the children alone.[12]
-----------------------------------

They were criticised in Portugal for circulating pictures of Madeleine and revealing the distinctive fleck in her eye, which police said could have put her life in danger.

He admitted the plan was risky but that "in terms of marketing, it was a good ploy".

Mr McCann said he had considered the plans for a documentary-drama only because it could address issues such as alert systems to help find lost children.

How do they know it was definitely an abduction?

the parents said it was. loudly, in the redtops. what more proof do you need?



Furfur

What evidence is there that Madeleine was abducted?

None.



adyboy > Furfur

Was it the Syrian rebels?


Benion > Furfur

Watch it! The litigious McCanns will be after you next....I think they have already sued everyone else.


Persianwar

I look at the two photofits that have been put out and see two completely different people. Different hair, different noses, different jawlines. Just about anyone aged 25-40, male with brownish hair could be made to 'fit the description'.

I think this is a fishing trip to find someone who might be conveniently put in the frame - as the clamour is to find someone, anyone, who can be locked up to bring 'closure'.



adyboy > Persianwar

Could you be more cynical?

Police are doing what should have happened 6 years ago. Better late than never



Persianwar > adyboy

I'm being perfectly rational. I don't see why anyone who has even sniffed the Portuguese border in 2007 should have their lives raked over by the old Bill on the basis of such limited evidence. It's one thing the Police doing this to UK citizens, but it now seems that they're going to extend the trick to Germany and the Netherlands.

There's also a distinct element of 20:20 hindsight to the whole exercise. Are people seeing what they saw, or what they or the Police would have liked them to have seen?

Those e-fits don't look like a single person - that isn't cynical, that's fact.

No normal person can understand the nature of the people involved in child abuse.

For example:

The court was told the two women who stood alongside Watkins in the dock sexually abused their own children and made them available to Watkins for him to abuse.

Beautiful hedera cultivar H. I’ve got ivies, too, but alas the white-edged one collapsed in a harsh winter after years of growth. I’ll try a new one.

I was wondering if planting in open soil, in a planting hole filled with compost or potting soil, would be better as the roots grow fast. Perhaps a rather unnecessarily comment as you were already intending to do so.

Indeed, tick tock as they say, not as I say. Isn't English a wonderful language.

But bear in mind, I don't know how it's going to work out here, (what you see will all come down easy enough)so what I ended up doing, was boring 4x50mm holes in the bottom of the tubs, figuring the roots will grow through if they want to.

What do you say, typical bloody man? Or just typical engineer?

Did you know by the way, engineers never use centimetres?

Typically 1m 35cm would always be expressed as 1350mm.
