The FBI issued three separate PSAs warning about “The Com,” a large English-speaking cybercriminal community. Its members include minors and adults involved in cybercrime, sextortion, swatting, and CSAM production. Subsets include Hacker Com (linked to ransomware and extortion) and IRL Com (offering real-world violent services like armed robbery or assault for hire). The FBI provided public awareness resources and guidance for protection.
