We didn't receive the bomb threat ones. We only received the (somewhat

"Fuck you".

Hi,

We got the same here at France-IX. It was on friday 15th. Hopefully, they "PWNED" all our Cisco and Mikrotik routers 
(of which we have none).

The situation loses its humor entirely with the introduction of bomb
threats. Seems like a script kiddie taking things way too far.

I heard that yesterday (19th) evening there was law enforcement deployment and evacuation in the area of a major Paris 
(FR, EU) telco hotel, apparently due to "threats to a business in the area". Details (popcorn) on FrNOG (in french) :
