Andrew McCabe: ‘Law Enforcement Folks Have a Really Tough Job Ahead of Them Trying to Get in Front of this Current Wave of Swatting Attacks

‘The key to swatting calls is the anonymization of the communication of the threat’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “Sometimes the dark web and other other techniques that‘s what‘s bringing more and more people kind of into this activity. It also makes the investigations of this activity much tougher investigators have to really follow the digital forensic clues that are left behind by some communications. Things like usernames on accounts and ip addresses, things of that nature to try to tie the communication back to an individual that is very hard to do in many cases. In the Allen fillion case I mentioned before, they had extraordinary assistance from a private citizen who was able to do some of that work and then shared it with the FBI.”
