764: The Internet’s Most Disturbing Cult: Every Parent’s Nightmare

Parents: Warning! Warning! Warning! This is so shocking and twisted that I am heart-broken to report it. But it would be wrong of me NOT to arm you with information that could prevent great harm to you and your family. At the bottom are warning signs and things you can do right now.

Throughout history, parents and caregivers have been concerned about in-person “tricky strangers” harming their children and teenagers. Some worried every time their child leaved the house. Unbeknownst to many, some of the worst predators are trying to enter their home through their child’s phone, gaming console, or laptop.

The 764 Network

The FBI describes the 764 Network as a tier 1 terrorist organization, the highest level of threat.

The group, named after a Texas ZIP code where it reportedly originated, has been linked to acts of extortion and abuse targeting minors, with the FBI warning that members are using popular gaming platforms, self-harm forums, and many of these 15 social media apps to find vulnerable children between the ages of 9 and 17.

The network of ‘764’ members lurk online, posing as friends through compliments and common interests – pets, games, sports, etc. Their ultimate goal is to torment and gain power over minors. They are considered the most dangerous online network targeting minors today.

The trend evolved from a social media group on Discord, in which adults would attempt to push extremist and gore-related content to young children online.

Though some involved with the 764 Network consider themselves neo-Nazis, they share no single political ideology. What they share is a nihilistic interest in cruelty, harm, and violence. You will find 764 network predators frequenting seemingly benign sites such as Roblox and Minecraft, Instagram, and X, formerly Twitter.

As noted at in this video at minute 8:05, the recruitment strategy was designed to be invisible to parents. Even if a parent looked at their child’s phone or screentime data, all they would find were regular apps and regular games.

Also, at 42:48, we see that a number of U.S. school shootings link back to ‘764’. Then at 43:15, you will see that one of the highest profile women rioters at the Capitol Building on January 6th was a member of the com, a 764 organization.

1 hour.

Today, more than 450 investigations into 764-related cases are underway in every FBI field office across the country, making it the number one digital threat to kids.(source)

These loosely connected predators commit some of the most disgusting and warped acts one can imagine. Since 764’s inception, members have a pattern of sextortion, creation and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), stabbings, and more.

There are documented victims who were instructed to carve their abuser’s name into their own skin as an act of ownership. Other children were ordered to torture or kill animals as proof of loyalty. A few were pushed toward suicide in front of members while on camera.

The online preying typically begins the same for all 764 members. First, they find a vulnerable child, then strike up a conversation, and spend days or weeks building a seemingly real friendship. They claim to share the child’s interests and talk for hours while gaming. Others DM targets in their social media accounts. They validate their victim’s feelings, especially loneliness, being misunderstood, or not fitting in, while gaining the victim’s trust. They are patient, calculated, and devious.

Once trust is established, they move the conversation to a private, encrypted platform where they gradually introduce the child to disturbing content consisting of gore, self-harm imagery, and common group language, framing it as something that “only cool people like us understand.” The victim is made to feel weak or rejected if they don’t watch.

Then come the requests for explicit photos or videos framed as a test of trust or a romantic gesture. The moment the innocent child or teen sends anything, the dynamic shifts and the predator begins threatening to send the images to the child’s school, friends, and family unless the victim complies with escalating demands. The demands? More images, in addition to live acts of self-harm, murdering their own pets, and other horrific acts.

In some cases, predators escalate threats by “swatting,” or making false emergency calls to send armed police to victims’ homes.

Out of fear that their previous acts will be shared with family members, or that family members will be harmed or killed if they don’t comply, these young victims then often target others to spare themselves because they don’t realize their content is already being shared widely.

In January 2025, a 17-year-old at Antioch High School in Tennessee shot two students, one fatally, after posting audio claiming the attack was carried out on behalf of a 764-affiliated group.

And a teenager in Connecticut, once an honor roll student, was arrested after being manipulated into making bomb threats. Investigators found self-mutilation photos on her devices alongside images paying tribute to 764.

764 Cult Warning Signs Every Wise Parent Should Know

Look for clusters of changes, not just one.

Physical

• Unexplained cuts or scars, particularly on the arms or torso, especially if they appear patterned. Often, victims are made to carve names or messages on their bodies
• Wearing long sleeves in warm weather
• Sudden changes in hygiene or appearance

Behavioral

• Increased withdrawal from family and real friends
• Intense secrecy around their phone or computer
• Unexplained mood swings, rage, or hopelessness
• A new fixation on death, darkness, or “not belonging”
• Unexplained injuries or deaths of pets

Digital and language

• Use of unfamiliar terms like CVLT, Lore, or 764
• A new online “friend” or “relationship” with someone your child has never met in person and is reluctant to discuss
• An obsessive desire to play particular video games or be on their cell phone
• Unexpected packages addressed to your child

Strategies & What You Can Do Right Now

Oversee internet and gaming use

• Delay online gaming privileges and open internet access until your child is aware of online dangers
• Have regular conversations about internet safety and online predators

Talk to your child — without panic

• Keep communication open, not fear-based
• Ask about online friendships the same way you’d ask about school friendships.

Know the platforms

• Roblox, Minecraft, Instagram, and X, formerly Twitter, and other gaming environments are not inherently dangerous, but they are access points
• Discord and Telegram are where conversations escalate
• Familiarize yourself with what your child is using

Children often stay silent for fear of getting in trouble, so if your child discloses abuse or exploitation, do not punish them

• Make it clear that you will not be angry
• Provide reassurance that what has been done to them is not their fault

Report immediately

• If your child has been targeted, contact the FBI at tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI
• You can also file a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at cybertipline.org
• Do not delete messages or devices. Preserve everything as potential evidence
• Call 988 if your child is in immediate mental health crisis. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text, 24 hours a day

I am starting to think we all need to go completely offline for like 10 years!

“For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.”
(Psalm 37:9-10)
