Italy's Meloni says cyberthreats are intended to spread fear after schools hit by bomb threat

MILAN (AP) — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said law enforcement found no concrete threat during checks of thousands of school buildings that were evacuated 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.“Whoever is sending them wants our fear, lost days, suspicion and chaos,” Meloni said in a video message, following a meeting with her Cabinet, secret services and cybersecurity experts. Italian law enforcement was working with its European counterparts to identify the source of the threats, she said.The Italian Education Ministry said the email threat was received by over 6,300 schools, but it was not immediately known how many had been evacuated.The anonymous email also threatened Meloni, according to copies obtained by Italian media, including the LaPresse
