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.
And now I REALLY want to get moving on a service to drop a drone on spammers. (Active Countermeasures!)
