764 (organization) - Wikipedia

I have read about it in the German news magazine that I subscribed to.
Here a short abstract.
764 (or "the com") is a decentralized transnational sextortion network with alleged ideological ties to the Order of Nine Angles.[1] It is classified as a terror network by the U.S. Department of Justice, and is considered by the FBI as a "tier one" terrorist threat.[2] The Canadian RCMP also classifies 764 as an "ideological violent extremist network", and it has been characterized as a "satanic neo-nazi cult" by multiple sources.[3][4][5][6] The network is most present on Discord and Telegram and usually targets children ages 8 to 17, particularly marginalized children or those suffering from mental health challenges.[7][8][9] Perpetrators are usually young men and men in their fourties.[8] 764 was founded in 2021 by Bradley Cadenhead, a teenager from Stephenville, Texas, the group derives its name from the town's ZIP code.[10][11][12]
Victims are forced to commit recorded acts of self-harm to disseminate internally or shared on social media platforms.[13][1] They are often asked to carve names on their skin as "cutsigns", a form of branding to showing their subjugation to the group.[6][14][8] They are given the end goal of committing suicide on livestream for the network's entertainment or for the perpetrator's own sense of fame within the network.
