What is an unfounded report?

An unfounded report is a report that is determined to be false or without any basis in truth or fact. It may be the result of a misunderstanding, a mistake, or intentional deception. Unfounded reports can cause confusion, wasted resources, and harm to innocent individuals or organizations. It is important to thoroughly investigate any report to determine its validity before taking any action based on it. The spread of unfounded reports can also contribute to misinformation and undermine trust in institutions or individuals.
