In a significant operation against online human trafficking, over 30 potential victims were identified during the fourth edition of the EMPACT Trafficking in Human Beings (THB) Hackathon. The event, held from September 15-19, 2025, was spearheaded by Dutch authorities with support from Germany and the United Kingdom, involving 73 specialists from 26 countries. Throughout the action week, experts meticulously investigated various online platforms, including social media, marketplaces, dating apps, job portals, escort agency sites, and instant messaging platforms. Their efforts revealed human trafficking activities across 44 online platforms, leading to the identification of 33 potential victims and 31 potential perpetrators. Additionally, authorities checked 53 platforms and detected 302 URLs and 137 social networks related to THB. The findings highlighted the predominant role of escort agencies in the market for sexual services, with indications of control by organized criminal groups. Authorities noted an alarming use of artificial intelligence in generating advertisements to lure victims and a shift towards sophisticated payment methods involving cryptocurrencies. Moreover, troubling discoveries included indicators of organ trafficking and child sexual abuse material on the dark web, as well as platforms involved in the trading of minors. Europol provided critical support during the operation, offering on-site coordination and operational analysis from its headquarters in The Hague. Eurojust also played a vital role by facilitating the swift involvement of judicial authorities across Europe. This annual hackathon, initiated in 2022, has become an essential tool for pooling expertise and enhancing the detection of trafficking networks to generate new investigations and prevent the escalation of online human trafficking.
