Reagan Wynn writes: “The Center for Internet Security and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (CIS-ISD) claims members of a swatting group called Purgatory ‘very likely’ triggered false emergency reports at several universities [frequently at their libraries] between August 21 and August 25. According to CIS-ISD, Purgatory is affiliated with a broader network of online threat actors called The Com, which engages in swatting, sextortion, and distribution of child sexual abuse material. A Wired report says Purgatory offers followers a menu of services, charging $20 for fake threats at schools and up to $50 for hoaxes targeting hospitals, businesses and airports.”
