Italy alters bomb threat response protocol after new false alerts

Italy has revised its bomb threat response protocol following a series of false alerts that led to evacuations of schools and other public places. The government, led by Giorgia Meloni, announced that evacuations will only occur if there is concrete evidence of danger, rather than just receiving mass emails. This decision comes after a meeting with opposition leaders who criticized the government's investment in cybersecurity. On the same day, around 1,800 schools were evacuated due to bomb threats, similar to those received the previous day. Authorities confirmed that these threats were false, but similar incidents have also occurred in the UK and Ireland. Security experts link these threats to hybrid warfare associated with Russia, which denies involvement.
