Alan Filion, now 18, pleaded guilty to four counts of interstate threats, facing up to 20 years in prison for orchestrating over 375 swatting incidents.
Swatting, a dangerous prank calling emergency services to report fake threats, has become a tactic for cybercriminals to extort money from their victims.
Filion not only admitted to making fraudulent emergency calls but also offered his services for hire through social media to other aspiring pranksters.
Metabase vulnerability CVE-2021-41277 remains a critical risk as it is reportedly being actively exploited, highlighting the importance of timely software updates.
