It seems to be a frequent target for edits that aren’t vandalism per se, but do still end up needing to be reverted because they are unverified WP:OR, soapboxing, or speculation concerning 764 or the com. Given the very nature of this topic, it seems likely the article will become and remain a magnet for such things. Perhaps it would be better to indefinitely protect this article and then if new users think it should be changed, they could make their suggestions on the talk page instead. It might be worth doing this for other articles/topics of a similar nature, as well (as has already been done over at Blue Whale Challenge). Any thoughts? 173.27.3.111 (talk) 07:33, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, "the com" doesn't refer only to 764. The "com" generally refers to the entire cybercrime community in the West, including SIM swapping, database dumping, and credential stuffing. The "com" should probably have its own article, though there is overlap between 764 (also known as the "extortion com") and the "com" at large. 2601:644:9100:DA90:7D62:8C4F:BAF0:FE51 (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have proof of that? Because none of the sources care to make this distinction, and we cannot do original research. Given this field especially. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:48, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
