If a stock basher can be identified, steps may be taken. In cases where the activity is clearly illegal, information may be provided to authorities to help them apprehend the culprit. Companies victimized by a stock basher may be able to claim financial damages and could request court orders to limit the basher’s activities in the future. For example, they could ask that a known stock basher be barred from participation in communities of investors online.
Some companies retain security consultants and social media experts who remain alert to the signs of bashing and conduct investigations to identify bashers. Serial offenders may crop up under a number of pseudonyms, which could make it necessary to trace by Internet protocol (IP) address, language used, and other identifiers. It may be possible to pursue action through a hosting service, as stock bashing could violate terms of service, especially if it is defamatory in nature.
