The 764 group is a decentralized online criminal network that operates internationally. It emerged in 2021 from the CVLT network and is primarily known as a sextortion ring. The group uses online platforms to extort and threaten its victims.
This organization is notable for its extremist ideology and the severe nature of its crimes, which primarily target minors. The FBI has identified the group as a significant threat, particularly for its use of platforms popular with children to coerce and exploit them.
The 764 network has been the subject of recent law enforcement actions and media reports. Federal authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Justice, have issued public warnings and brought charges against alleged members. Recent headlines highlight arrests, including that of an alleged leader, and the novel application of terrorism charges against a network member, underscoring the severity with which authorities are treating the group's activities.
These developments have brought renewed attention to the dangers of online extremist networks and the specific tactics used by the 764 group. The case has prompted discussions about the evolving nature of digital crime and the legal frameworks used to combat it.
