Mass paralysis of schools in Italy. Thousands of emails with bomb threats

The Italian government announced new procedures for handling mass threat emails, stating that buildings should not be evacuated without concrete evidence of danger. Thousands of schools received false bomb threat emails, leading to the evacuation of at least 300 institutions. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held a meeting with opposition leaders to discuss responses to such incidents, with criticism directed at the government's cyber security investments. Similar false alarms were reported in Scotland and Ireland, raising concerns about potential cyberattacks linked to Russia, although Italian authorities lack evidence to confirm this.
