Cyber Threats Target Hundreds of Schools in Britain, Ireland, and Italy

Al-Taj News – Police in Britain and Ireland are investigating, on Wednesday, threats sent via email that targeted hundreds of schools, coinciding with similar incidents in Italy.
Police in the two countries called on teaching staffs not to evacuate the schools, considering that the messages contain false reports, according to what Agence France-Presse reported.

These threats come after similar alerts that targeted media outlets in Britain and Ireland last week, alongside flights from the United Kingdom and European countries.

The messages affected schools in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland, while Scottish Police confirmed, in a statement, that despite the disturbing nature of these messages, there are no indications that they pose a real threat.
