Италийн эрх баригчид лхагва гарагт имэйлээр ирсэн заналхийллийн дараа 312 сургуулийг нүүлгэн шилжүүлэв.
Ерөнхий сайд Жоржа Мелони сургуулиудад бодит аюул учирсан гэх шинж алга, харин олон нийтийг түгшээх зорилготой мэт харагдаж байгааг мэдэгдэв. Цагдаа нар шалгалт эхлүүлж, Мелони лхагва гарагийн орой сайд нарын хурал зарласан байна. Италийн хэвлэлүүдэд нийтлэгдсэн имэйлийн хуулбарт Ерөнхий сайдыг мөн заналхийлжээ.
Ирланд, Шотланд болон Умард Ирландын сургуулиудад ижил төстэй заналхийлэл ирсэн ч тэнд нүүлгэн шилжүүлэлт хийгээгүй байна. Шотландын цагдаа нар мессежүүдийг бодит бус заналхийлэл гэж үзсэн бол Умард Ирландын цагдаа нар яаралтай шалгалт явуулж буйгаа мэдэгджээ. Италийн заналхийллийн имэйлд Европын телевиз, радио байгууллагуудад өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт хүргүүлсэн мессежүүдэд ашигласан орос нэрээр гарын үсэг зурсан ч ямар нэг бүлэг, улс оролцсон гэх нотолгоо одоогоор гараагүй байна.
Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Европ даяар олон арван нислэгт бөмбөг тавьсан гэх заналхийлэл ирж, зарим нислэгийн чиглэлийг өөрчлөхөд хүрсэн. Шалгалтаар сэжигтэй зүйл илрээгүй бөгөөд хүн бэртэж гэмтээгүй байна. Батлан хамгаалахын сайд Гуидо Крозетто заналхийлэл нь айдас, түгшүүр төрүүлэх зорилготой байж болзошгүй гэж хэлжээ.
Эдгээр үйл явдал Европт гарсан бусад саатал, тухайлбал супермаркетын хөргөлтийн системд халдсан хэрэг болон дроны нэвтрэлтийн дараа өрнөж байна. Гадаад хэргийн сайд Антонио Таяни өнгөрсөн бямба гарагт хувийн мэдээлэл нь харанхуй вебд алдагдсан гэж мэдэгдсэн бөгөөд Мелони үүнд Оросыг дэмжигч хакеруудыг буруутгажээ. Австри, Италийг холбох Бреннерийн суурь хонгилын барилгын ажлыг хариуцдаг компани мөн өнгөрсөн сард кибер халдлагад өртсөнөө мэдэгдсэн байна.

MILAN — Italian authorities evacuated hundreds of schools Wednesday after an emailed bomb threat, the latest in a series of disruptions affecting European institutions following recent hoaxes aimed at airlines and broadcasters.
Schools in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland received similar threats, but no evacuations were reported.
Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said there was no indication of any “concrete danger” to schools and that the threats appeared aimed at “generating alarm and concern.”
She said investigations were underway and that she had called a meeting of ministers for later Wednesday.
The anonymous email also threatened Meloni, according to copies obtained by Italian media, including the LaPresse news agency.
She did not address the personal threat in her statement, and her office had no immediate comment.
The email purported to come from the leader of an otherwise unknown group with an anti-woman name and contained particularly violent threats.
It was signed with the same Russian name used in last week’s threats against European broadcasters.
Authorities have not attributed the threats to any group or state, and no evidence has emerged linking the hoaxes to a government.
Threats reported in other countries
Police in Northern Ireland said they were conducting “urgent inquiries” after a threatening email was sent to hundreds of schools.
Police in Scotland said they were treating similar messages as hoaxes and were not requiring schools to evacuate.
“Our assessment remains that they do not represent a credible threat,” Police Scotland said.
Police in Ireland also said they were aware of a “generic communication” sent to several educational institutions.
Rome students learn of threat after evacuation
Italian Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara told reporters that 312 schools had been evacuated after receiving email threats.
“These are very delicate considerations, because there is always the risk that there is someone else behind the madman,” he said. “Given that so many schools are involved, the real risk is almost non-existent.”
At Rome’s Mamiani high school, students poured into the streets, mistaking the alarm for the recess bell.
They learned of the bomb threat only after they were outside.
“They are saying it was a bomb alert because an email arrived from Russian hackers in which they said they would have killed everyone. It was pretty violent,” said Anita Bartocci, an 18-year-old student.
Hoax pattern emerges
Bomb threats targeted dozens of flights across Europe last week, following a string of hoaxes that forced flight diversions and left airlines scrambling to keep passengers safe and minimize disruption.
False bomb threats are relatively common, but so many in such a short period are unusual.
No suspicious items were found, and no one was injured.
Still, the threats raised concerns because they followed other disruptions across Europe, including attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems and drone incursions.
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said the emailed threats were aimed at “sowing terror, or creating concern.”
“It’s too easy. Any one of us can use the available means and instruments to send an email to a school, a daycare, an airline, saying that there’s a bomb,” Crosetto told reporters at an event Wednesday.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Saturday that his personal data had been leaked to the dark web, an encrypted part of the internet.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni blamed pro-Russian hackers.
The company overseeing construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel, which will connect Austria and Italy, also said over the weekend that it had been hacked last month.
