It is important to remember these kind of attackers put on a performance, there is a script they follow and part of that script is trolling journalists or leaving ironic items in the hope someone in the media will bring on the Streisand effect to further spread their attack and be immortalized.

We’ve put the ball on the ground.
What parents and caregivers need to know is that THERE IS NO SAFE SPACE online for children and adolescents.
Codes and emojis are constantly adapted by malicious actors as platforms detect their use, in order to evade harmful and criminal content.

I had a long conversation with journalist Paula Ferreira about the exploitation and victimization of minors in digital environments.
I recommend this reading for all parents and caregivers, and to always pay close attention to the signs.
