Yesterday, federal prosecutors unsealed indictments against three associates of Tyler Barriss, the notorious swatter whose story I told for @WIRED. The defendants are alleged to have conspired with Barriss to carry out numerous swattings and bomb threats. justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/t…
The indictments highlight just how casual the defendants were about terrorizing total strangers, and how little they feared getting caught despite using unsecured communications tools (e.g. Twitter DMs).
Yesterday was also the funeral for Adelina Finch, the 18-year-old niece of the Wichita man who was killed in a December 2017 swatting that Tyler Barriss instigated. Amid the haze of trauma and grief, Adelina took her own life. May she rest in peace. legacy.com/obituaries/kan…
And, please, always know that there are people who care about you—more people than you likely realize. And they want to help.
