The NWO bullied streamers and used their data.
The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), together with the Prosecutor General's Office in Frankfurt am Main, conducted a large-scale operation against alleged members of the online group New World Order (NWO). On Tuesday morning, law enforcement agencies searched ten apartments in six regions of Germany: Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Lower Saxony. As a result of the operation carried out as part of the fight against cybercrime, many electronic devices and data carriers were seized.
According to the BKA, the suspects are charged with participation in a criminal organization whose primary purpose is to commit crimes such as systematic cyber fraud and cyberstalking. In a statement, the BKA notes that it is not just about individual offenses, but about coordinated actions against victims, which qualifies as participation in a criminal group. Benjamin Krause, spokesman for the Central Office for Combating Internet Crime at the Frankfurt Prosecutor General's Office, stressed that the action is aimed at demonstrating the determination of the authorities to counteract not only isolated crimes, but also systematic criminal actions on the Internet.
The New World Order group exists exclusively in the virtual space, representing an association of persons acting through the Internet. It coordinates its actions through closed chat rooms and other online platforms, which allows its members to organize and conduct criminal campaigns against victims without having physical contact and hiding their identities.
In numerous cases, NWO leaders chose representatives of online streamers, whom the group called "The Masks" as victims. Often the victims were the most vulnerable or cognitively limited people. These people were harassed, threatened, and insulted through social media. In addition, members of the group posted symbols of banned organizations and incited hatred in the comments, seeking to humiliate victims and force them to abandon their online activities, which they called "Masken-Games."
NWO members also collected and distributed victims' personal data in order to make it public during broadcasts, in what became known as "Doxing-Events". To do this, they used fake ("spoofed") phone numbers and fake IDs to gain access to information from public and non-public databases, as well as from the authorities.
In addition, the NWO had false emergency calls known as "Swatting" in its arsenal. Attackers, posing as fictitious individuals, reported fictitious incidents such as fires, gas leaks, or violent crimes in the victims homes. The purpose of such actions is to provoke the invasion of special police units into the victim's home during a live broadcast.
