764

764 is a decentralized, global network of online communities that glorify violence and engage in a variety of criminal activities, including sextortion, the distribution of child sex abuse material (CSAM), swatting, SIM swapping and doxing. The network is particularly known for targeting and exploiting vulnerable individuals on social media, especially children. 764 emerged in 2021 out of “The Com” (short for “The Community”), a loosely organized network of extortionists, hackers and other cyber criminals.

764’s core ideology is rooted in nihilism and misanthropy, although it also draws influence—both ideologically and visually—from extremist movements, most notably the Satanic neo-Nazi organization, Order of Nine Angles. 764 embodies a dangerous, multifaceted threat by blending violent extremism, nihilism and the exploitation of minors.

Internal conflicts and the arrests of key 764 leaders have led to the emergence of multiple splinter groups and offshoots over the years, such as Harm Nation, Court, Kaskar, H3ll and Leak Society.

Since 2023, at least 19 individuals linked to 764 have been arrested for various crimes, including violent attacks, the possession of CSAM, sextortion and swatting.
