Dangers of Swatting Online-Law Enforcement Takes Aim

After hundreds of schools across the country became swatting victims this past spring, legislators, law enforcement and tech companies said they would find new ways to address it.
According to Recorded Future News:
The FBI has created a national repository for local law enforcement to voluntarily report swatting incidents. However, it's deemed only a first step in tackling this form of cyber crime.
Swatting requires a multi-pronged solution and the legislation to tackle this issue is currently insufficient, requiring patchwork of statutes to prosecute offenders. This highlights a need for a more robust form of legislation at a federal level.
Several states like Washington, Texas, and Maryland have strong anti-swatting legislation, setting a good model for federal level law. Yet, the heterogeneity across state laws demand for federal protection to ensure uniformity in victims' recourse and defenses.
