If your VOIP sevice gets hacked you could be considered a terrorist!

Swatting Is A New Prank That Is Causing Police A Lot Of Trouble



Swatting and other types of hoaxes can be done over VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phones such as Skype and Vonage who use an IP address (Internet protocol address). A hacker can steal the IP address and the person receiving the call such as 911, or in this case a college who received a bomb threat, would on their caller ID get the number of the phone which was hacked and not the hacker.



As you can see in this case, it is hard to prove your case when the FBI believes you to be at fault. On Alex Jones' radio show the mother of the 16 year old was a guest. She said, at the time of the bomb threat the kid was at church with many witnesses. Even though he has an alibi, he has been in jail for over 2 months and is to be tried as an adult for his "crime". The FBI testified that there was no such thing as IP hacking and that it was like a finger print that could by no means be disproved.

Here is another example of "Swatting" or IP phone hacking that happened in my area.

I thought in my country, people were innocent until proven guilty. What ever happened to reasonable doubt?
