<div id="SafeStyles1634646273">
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I've now heard from several operators - our selves included - about
<br>
getting an e-mail bomb threat to our datacenters asking for $5,000 USD <br>
or the "bomb will be detonated".<br>
<br>
Is this being seen on a wide spread e-mail blast to the RIR contacts, or <br>
am I just unlucky to know like 6 other data center folks who have also <br>
gotten this e-mail?<br>
<br>
It seems like a very odd/bizarre spam/threat campaign which would <br>
carry significant jail time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
