Europol seizes 292 websites in counterfeit goods crackdown on Cyber Monday
An international operation led by Europol has seized the domain names of 292 websites that were selling counterfeit or pirated products.
The seizures are part of Europol’s In Our Sites project and involved 25 law enforcement agencies from 19 countries, including the UK, Spain, France and Denmark, with the assistance of the US Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Europol said that the action followed leads received in August from trademark holders about the infringing websites. The seized domain names now remain in the possession of the governments involved in the operations. The most popular domains proved to be websites selling counterfeit luxury goods, sportswear, electronics and pharmaceuticals, along with pirated music and films.
