As noted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.fr\/media\/wp\/wp-criminal-hideouts-for-lease-en.pdf\">Trend Micro research<\/a> (.PDF) on the subject, law enforcement may act if the service or content is hosted in their country. However, providers will often select countries with lax laws on content &#8212; and whether or not server providers are considered responsible for their customer&#8217;s activities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khaosod.co.th\/breaking-news\/news_1095834\">Local media reports suggest<\/a> that a Moldovian national has been arrested close to Bangkok in relation to the seizure. An alleged MaxiDed administrator has also been arrested by Bulgarian police.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement chose to act as Dominica-registered MaxiDed was allegedly providing hosting to a subscription-based child pornography content service, also owned by the alleged operator of MaxiDed, which was earning up to $123 million annually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/enterprise-vulnerability-management-as-effective-as-random-chance\/\">Enterprise vulnerability management as effective as &#8216;random chance&#8217;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Information gained from the servers has been shared with Europol.<\/p>\n<p>MaxiDed is a decade old but its reputation has suffered in recent years.
