Authorities have shut down an offensive website that encouraged boys to upload naked pictures of Aussie schoolgirls.

Students at about 70 schools across the country were targeted, authorities revealed earlier this week.

The website was shut down after The Office of the Children's eSafety Commissioner made contact with its registrar regarding an image of an underage girl.

"While we have not received a formal reply, we are aware the website with intimate images of Australian girls has now been removed," the authority said in a statement.

"The Office continues to work with law enforcement and monitor the issue."

The Australian Federal Police said it was working closely with state and international police forces to determine whether further action can be taken over the site.

"The AFP welcomes the recent removal of this website. Wherever material such as this is identified, the AFP will continue to work closely with its domestic and international partners to determine appropriate courses of action," the AFP said in a statement.
