FBI Expands Counterterrorism Efforts Against '764' Online Exploitation Network

  • The FBI is investigating more than 250 active cases linked to 764, a global network exploiting children on social media and gaming platforms in 2025.
  • 764 originated in 2020 when Bradley Cadenhead founded it on Discord, naming it after his Texas ZIP code, and it evolved through violent, extremist ideologies.
  • Members befriend minors as young as nine, then coerce them into creating and sharing violent and sexual content, including self-harm and animal cruelty acts.
  • Authorities have arrested over 15 leaders on child pornography and weapons charges, with sentences up to 80 years, highlighting the network's grave criminal impact.
  • Officials warn 764 poses a national security threat, demanding greater law enforcement action, parental vigilance, and stronger safeguards on digital platforms like Discord and Roblox.
