Italian education officials and authorities in the United Kingdom and Ireland evacuated more than 300 schools in Italy and hundreds of schools in the UK and Ireland on 11 November after receiving identical bomb-threat emails that were judged to be a likely cyberattack and not credible. The incidents followed an earlier wave of hoax bomb threats that hit about 6,300 Italian schools, prompting evacuations, and similar messages were reported in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where they were also deemed non-credible.
