What Does 764 Mean in a Text?

⚠️The 764 Network⚠️

In texting and online chat, the number 764 refers to the "764 Network," a creepy mix of Satanic edgelords, neo-Nazis, and sextortionists working online to groom, blackmail, and terrorize people, including young children and teens. The network is designated a terrorist organization by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Key Features

The name "764" comes from the first three digits of the zip code for Stephenville, Texas, where the network's founder, a then-15-year-old, was from. The network is based on a decentralized structure that operates across multiple platforms such as Discord, Telegram, and other encrypted messaging apps, as well as darknet forums and even gaming chats.

The extremist ideology of the 764 Network merges neo-Nazi rhetoric with apocalyptic Satanic themes. They target teens and young adults, who are often lured in through edgy memes, shock content, or promises of community and power, and use sextortion and exploitation, involving grooming, coercion, blackmail, and sharing of explicit or exploitative content. Tactics for avoidance of discovery include the use of code names, numeric tags (like "764"), symbols, and emojis to avoid detection by algorithms and moderators. Although the network emerged in the US, members and victims have been identified in multiple countries, making it difficult to trace and shut down.

Cuts by the Trump administration to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which focuses on targeted violence and terrorism prevention efforts, may allow extremist groups like the 764 Network to exploit gaps in monitoring and intervention. Therefore, it is more important than ever that you are aware of the threat. The losers associated with this Network thrive on fear. Don't feed them. Stay sharp:

  • Never share sensitive pics/videos, even with someone you trust.
  • Block & report suspicious accounts pushing "secret societies" or extremist crap.
  • If you're targeted, talk to someone. This isn't your fault.
