RE: Anyone else getting the 'spam' bomb threat?

["Robert Berlin" <rob () flhsi com>]

We received 2, and I heard from other operators that they had received it as well. This is the second or third "threat" 
in a matter of a couple of weeks. Seems like someone scraped some information from somewhere.

I've now heard from several operators - our selves included - about
getting an e-mail bomb threat to our datacenters asking for $5,000 USD
or the "bomb will be detonated".

Is this being seen on a wide spread e-mail blast to the RIR contacts, or
am I just unlucky to know like 6 other data center folks who have also
gotten this e-mail?

It seems like a very odd/bizarre spam/threat campaign which would
carry significant jail time.
