Hacker Sentenced for Swatting U.S. Officials

Tomasz Szabo, a 27-year-old Romanian national, has been sentenced to four years in prison for his involvement in a series of swatting incidents and bomb threats targeting U.S. government officials. The offenses included actions against members of Congress and federal judges.

The Swatting Campaign

Szabo's actions were aimed at disrupting emergency services and instilling fear by falsely reporting serious incidents, which led to the diversion of critical resources. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and threats charges. Szabo was extradited from Romania to the U.S. in November 2024. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson oversaw the sentencing. The case underscores efforts to combat attacks on public servants.
