A 15-year-old American boy has died by suicide following a targeted sextortion campaign allegedly orchestrated by the extremist network known as '764', prompting federal authorities to escalate their crackdown on the group.
The victim, an honour-roll student, took his own life on 6 November 2025, just three hours after being contacted by individuals posing as peers on a social media platform. The case highlights the sophisticated psychological warfare employed by the network, which the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) describes as a 'transnational collective of violent extremists' targeting minors.
