A wave of bomb threats were reported Thursday against businesses, schools, hospitals and other places across the country causing panic and evacuations, although all appeared to be hoaxes.
Police in cities nationwide reported threats, some emailed, some phoned in.
The FBI in a statement said they were "aware of the recent bomb threats made in cities around the country, and we remain in touch with our law enforcement partners to provide assistance. As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activities which could represent a threat to public safety."
Authorities in New York City were monitoring multiple bomb threats that have been sent electronically to various locations throughout the city, the New York Police Departments counterterrorism bureau said on Twitter.
These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide & are NOT considered credible at this time, the NYPD said.

I had my fingers on the posts of one of those when my friend pushed the plunger. He thought that was funny. That was about 1962. Amazing what you learn if you don’t die.
My money is on obama/hitlery/mueller/sessions
Full agreement. The situation does open many (too many) doors imho
Saw a news report a few minutes ago that said it was a Russian IP address.
I can’t believe anyone would be stupid enough to deal with bomb scams. I stick with the “need your bank account number so I can send you ten million rupies” - at least no one dies.
Wonder if IPs are spoofable. Know phone numbers are spoofable but am not familiar with spoofing IPs
My apology. Ill be quiet
This will be much worse, millions dead, the usa has fallen, there is no law, declare martial law
Child hackers play to spoof IP’s. Remember this hacking tools that got released from the No Such Agency? Very good spoofer in that package.
Plenty of doors open already. We sure don’t need more.
could be a basement dweller ... not surprising
Im gonna climb out a window and try to sthu. Wish me luck please

Bombers bomb.
Howlers howl.
Bombers don’t howl before bombing.
Howlers don’t bomb after howling.
But schools which automatically evacuate after seeing scribbled “bomb threat” on the bathroom wall have empowered the howlers to shut them down whenever they please.
Please don’t feed the howlers.
Several businesses in my tiny town in Florida - St Augustine - got threats today. Bizarre, just looking at it, I dont think theres a real threat but its sure freaking people out. Like Nigerian scams on steroids.
Convention Center here in Mobile, Alabama got a threat today. No incendiary device found.
The wording does sound like the Nigerian scams..but usually their scams dont include bitcoin, its PayPal or gift cards.
Wave of bomb threats causes evacuations, anxiety nationwide- How to avoid covering a congressional hearing on the Clinton Foundation.
