The FBI is informing the public of recent nationwide incidents targeting Tesla electric vehicles (EV), dealerships, storage lots, and charging stations and encouraging those with information to contact 1-800-CALL FBI.

03/20/2025 - VIOLENT ONLINE NETWORKS TARGET VULNERABLE AND UNDERAGE POPULATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE GLOBE

The FBI is warning the public of a sharp increase in the activity of "764" and other violent online networks which operate within the United States and around the globe. These networks methodically target and exploit minors and other vulnerable individuals. Some of the violent actors in these online networks are motivated by a desire to cause fear and chaos through their criminal conduct and cause their victims to self-mutilate or commit suicide. However, motivations are highly individualized, and some threat actors may be engaging in criminal activity solely for sexual gratification, social status or a sense of belonging, or for a mix of other reasons that may not be ideologically motivated.

Ever deal with a tech support scam? A warning pops up on your computer. It says your computer has a virus and gives you a number to call for help.
