Major International Anti-Piracy Operation Seizes Pirate Streaming Infrastructure Law enforcement agencies from multiple countries have seized domains and infrastructure associated with large-scale piracy services as part of Operation Offside. The seizure banner identifies participation from agencies including: U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) Europol City of London Police National law enforcement and intellectual property authorities from several countries Private sector partners According to the notice, the operation targeted websites involved in intellectual property infringement to protect consumers and disrupt illicit digital distribution networks. The coordinated takedown highlights the increasing use of multinational law enforcement operations to dismantle criminal infrastructure rather than targeting individual operators alone. Analyst Note: Domain seizure banners are often only the visible outcome of a much broader investigation. These operations frequently involve infrastructure mapping, financial tracing, server seizures, and intelligence collection that may lead to additional arrests and follow-on takedowns in the coming months. #DDW #Intelligence #DarkWeb #CyberCrime
