A notification service called Terrorless has been launched to predict stabbing attacks and provide related information amid indiscriminate online murder threat posts.

The number of online posts about murder threats has increased following the Sillim Station and Bundang stabbing incidents in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.

Terrorless allows users to access information about stabbing attack threats, related news links, and the locations of the threatened areas on a map. Currently, there are 45 alerts posted on the service's page.

Not only can users check their own locations and nearby stabbing threat locations, they can also report and share such incidents. Additionally, users can verify whether the suspects who posted the content have been apprehended.

Users can provide information about online murder threats through 'Terrorless'. (Terrorless)

By clicking on the location and pressing the "see more" button, users can view the time and source of the threat, occurrence, and whether or not the writer is captured. Furthermore, they can see the entire list of reported threats below the website.

The service was started by a group called 01ab with the aim of providing citizens with information about stabbing attack threats, including the potential location and time, to alleviate widespread anxiety.
