Our police department has gotten three (that I’m aware of) so far this morning. Almost certainly phony, but the authorities won’t have the luxury of blowing it off like you can w/the sextortion cases.

It threatens to blow up a bomb unless the bitcoin payment is made, so the body text is different. Subjects include: Bomb is in your building Rescue service will complicate the situation Think twice keep calm We got a group of them from 194.58.61/24 I do not have a good copy of the body yet, and do not know what rules it already hits. If anyone else here got these maybe you can beat me to getting a sample. I'll send more later if I get more information. -- Joseph Brennan Lead, Email and Systems Applications [http://cuit.columbia.edu/sites/all/themes/ias/ascuit/images/logo.png]
