Mass email hoax causes closures across the US and Canada
Emails threaten explosions unless people pay $20,000 in Bitcoin.
The emails warn that explosives have been planted in the recipient’s premises and that they will detonate by the end of the day unless the target pays $20,000 in bitcoin. By late Thursday afternoon, Sammy, the email security researcher who sent one of the tweets above, told Ars she and other researchers estimated more than 100,000 such emails had been received.
