FBI chief Kash Patel admits his house was swatted: What is swatting and why is it increasing in America?
Image credits: X/@Kash_Patel FBI director Kash Patel recently had an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan where he made a shocking revelation that his house had been swatted. Rogan, like the listeners of the podcast, appeared shocked by the admissions asking, "What? The head of the FBI gets swatted?" to which Patel replied 'These people play, it's the ultimate hypocrisy. They have two sets of rules: One against you, and one for them.' What is swatting and why is it becoming a rising problem in America? Explained: What is swatting? Image credits: X/@ClownWorld_ If there's any federal law system that is popular for its alacrity in response it's the American one. Be it 911 or SWAT, every call for emergency and protection is taken into account and immediate response is assured. Recently, the country has been experiencing a rise in the cases of swatting. Swatting includes false calls to the 911 or Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) reporting a false threat at a location. Swatters falsely report major threats like bomb threats, hostage situations and murders in order to ensure serious responses from the emergency services. The SWAT team responds to the locations and assumes the people residing there as points of threat. Swatting essentially makes the misuse of the responsiveness and alert actions of the federal teams and is also a threat to the life of the people whose houses are swatted as they are treated as points of threat with gunpoint and allegations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spiele kostenlos in deinem Browser - Kein Download oder Installation erforderlich! Taonga Farm Jetzt spielen Undo In the previous months, houses of popular names such as Conservative podcast and Infowars host Owen Shroyer, US journalist Larry Taunton, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj have also been swatted. Now added to the list is the head of the FBI, Kash Patel who himself has been very vocal on launching active campaigns against swatting and recognising the seriousness of the situation. 'I want to address the alarming rise in 'Swatting' incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable,' Patel had posted on X a while ago. 'The one thing we will do is put out all that information to the American public.' Patel promised at Rogan's podcast. He added, 'And if we can work with our partners at the DOJ to come up with a prosecution, that will be their decision.' Why is swatting increasing in America? Image credits: Getty Images Well, American society is one of the most technologically-forward societies in the world. From social media to AI apps, there's not much hidden from people about each other. People overshare personal information on social media, their IP addresses are easily accessible by hackers, and they keep updating in real time where they are. These acts make it very easy for your abodes to be swatted. In order to prevent your house from being swatted, keep on checking the privacy settings on your emails and social media, update your passwords from time to time, and avoid sharing any kind of personal information such as your real-time location, hour or office address and more.

Five more Maoists killed in op in which top guns Sudhakar & Bhaskar were eliminated
Raipur: Seven Maoists – including central committee member Sudhakar and another top commander, Bhaskar – have been killed in an operation that is on in Indravati National Park area of Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, Bastar police said on Saturday. Sudhakar, the ideological chief of Maoists, was gunned down on Thursday and Bhaskar, a Telangana State Committee Member, on Friday. Skirmishes continued all night and on Saturday, the bodies of five more cadres were found. Two of them are women. Police are trying to identify them. Other high-level Maoist operatives, including Telangana State Committee's press in-charge Bandi Prakash, have been spotted in the encounter zone. With this operation, sources say, security forces have foiled a crucial Maoist attempt to coordinate their activities in the region following the encounter killing of CPI(Maoist) general secretary Basavaraju. Security forces have been battling not only insurgents' bullets and treacherous hilly terrain, but also snakes and other threats in the wild as the operation continues deep inside the jungles. Bastar range IG P Sundarraj announced the elimination of 7 Maoists and said that a large cache of arms and ammunition, including two AK-47 rifles, has been seized from the encounter zones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Search operations and area domination exercises continue in the dense forest terrain to flush out any remaining insurgents and ensure complete control of the region," Sundarraj said. "A few personnel sustained snake bites and bee stings and suffered severe dehydration but the forces kept up the momentum. All injured personnel are currently in stable condition and receiving medical care," Sundarraj said. High-intensity encounters were spread across three consecutive days — June 5-7. The encounter in which Bashar was killed was the most fierce, said police sources. On Thursday, Sundarraj had said that the operation was launched after precise inputs on the location of some top Maoist commanders. District Reserve Guards, Special Task Force and CRPF's CoBRA commandos moved out to intercept the group on Wednesday night. They went on foot to maintain stealth and took the Maoists completely by surprise the next morning. As the insurgents scattered, the forces also spread out and running gunbattles broke out across a large swathe of the jungle. The operation, still underway, is one of the most significant missions in the red corridor in recent years, said an officer, adding that they are hopeful of more success. Sudhakar, a native of Andhra Pradesh, was in charge of the Maoists' Revolutionary Political School and was in the insurgent outfit for nearly four decades. He was the third central committee member to be killed in Bastar this year after Jai Ram alias Chalpathy on Jan 21 and Basavaraju on May 21.

Boy, 4, electrocuted in Bengaluru convention hall
Bengaluru: A four-year-old boy was electrocuted at a convention hall in Basaveshwara Nagar, west Bengaluru, Wednesday night. The victim, Shivam MP, was the younger son of Pradeep Kumar and Deepa, a couple from Kempegowda Nagar. The family had come to the convention hall to attend the marriage reception of Pradeep's relative when the tragedy occurred, police said. According to Deepa, she found Shivam lying supine near the air cooler placed by the staircase at the hall. "Shocked on seeing him lying motionless, I ran towards him and held him by the shoulder. Then, electric shocks passed through me and I screamed. Someone disconnected the air cooler and pulled us away. We immediately shifted Shivam to a nearby private hospital, but the doctors declared him dead on arrival," Deepa stated in her complaint to police. The wires of the air cooler were exposed, and Shivam, who was playing with other children near it, accidentally stepped on the wire where it was exposed, police said.
