Worldwide Bomb Threat Email Scam

We have been made aware of the following bomb threat email scam going that has been around the world and has been recieved by at least a couple people in our area.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is aware of a worldwide email campaign targeting businesses and organizations with bomb threats. The emails claim that a device will detonate unless a ransom in Bitcoin is paid.

If you receive a bomb threat email, NCCIC recommends the following actions:

•Do not respond or try to contact the sender.
•Do not pay the ransom.
•Report the email to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx or to a local FBI Field Office https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field/field-offices
