It started with Roblox… would it end with swatting?

Posted on January 26, 2022 by Dissent

Dave Herndon reports:

Police were called to Salina Intermediate School after the assistant principal called about a student whose computer was hacked Jan. 6.

Police came to the school and talked with the student and his father, who were both worried that another game was going to have them Swatted after the student’s computer was hacked.

It turns out that there really was some reason for them to be concerned that someone might try to get the student swatted. Read more at Press & Guide.
