Swatting is a dangerous and malicious act where someone reports a false crime or emergency to evoke an aggressive response from law enforcement to a target’s residence or place of work to harass and intimidate them. There are several ways institutions and law enforcement can prevent swatting. One way is by securing personal information, as swatting attacks often occur as a result of personal information being leaked or stolen. Another way is by using non-emergency numbers to report suspicious activity. Additionally, advocating for stronger penalties for swatting can also help prevent it.
