Show Notes
Swatting attacks, where fake emergency calls summon police, are escalating with AI-generated voice disguises and fake gunshots. A wave of these attacks hit universities in fall 2025, including Doane University and the University of Nebraska Omaha. Researchers like Mackenzie Harms from the National Counterterrorism Innovation Technology and Education Center are investigating this trend. Swatting appeals to extremists due to low risk and online resources. Law enforcement, like Captain Monty Lovelace, emphasizes the importance of safety protocols and pursuing culprits to restore normalcy.
