Department of Justice (DOJ) officials are attempting to crack down on an online predator network known as “764,” as online exploitation of vulnerable groups increases.

This group has proven to be dangerous for many minors and other victims online who are targeted and threatened through forums and gaming platforms. The FBI announced on Feb. 20 that they have prioritized these investigations.
