Following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and praise for the attack on social media, law enforcement is on high alert as calls for threats against health care executives and their families become «widespread», according to a Colorado law enforcement bulletin obtained by ABC News.
The bulletin warned that Thompson’s killing may be used as «messaging and propaganda» to share the techniques and tactics for targeting other health care companies.
«Over the last two years, online activity has indicated a growing negative sentiment around conglomerates, the wealthy, and executive staff at private and public organizations», the bulletin said. «Calls for targeting the executive team, their families, homes, and places of work using a variety of online and offline means to harass, disrupt, and harm the individuals and the organizations have become widespread.
