The Proud Boys are a U.S.-based far-right extremist organization associated with political violence, street mobilization, and participation in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The group has been linked to organized activity around January 6 alongside other extremist networks, including the Oath Keepers, and has figured prominently in investigations into how online platforms facilitated mobilization, coordination, and amplification of violent rhetoric tied to election denial narratives. The organization has been widely referenced in connection with violent far-right activism in the United States. Reporting and investigative accounts describe Proud Boys members as active in extremist chat spaces, reconstituting local chapters, and engaging in retaliatory rhetoric after clemency actions for January 6 defendants in 2025. Former leader Enrique Tarrio has been publicly associated with calls for retribution, underscoring the group’s continued relevance within the U.S. far-right extremist milieu. The Proud Boys were also impersonated in a notable 2020 election-related influence operation. Iranian cyber actors spoofed the group’s identity in threatening emails sent to Democratic voters in multiple U.S. states in an apparent voter intimidation campaign intended to sow discord and undermine confidence in U.S. democratic institutions. In that case, the Proud Boys were the impersonated brand rather than the responsible cyber actor. Aliases include Proud Boys. The group is best understood as a domestic extremist movement rather than a cyber threat actor. High-confidence reporting in this context supports its role in extremist mobilization and intimidation-linked political violence, but does not directly support attribution of distinct cyber intrusion, malware, or ransomware operations to the group itself.
