Bomb threat emails to Bengaluru schools traced to offshore platform AtomicMail, cops suspect Telegram bots

BENGALURU: After 40 schools in the city received bomb threat emails on Friday morning, police said the messages were sent using an offshore platform called AtomicMail.io, which deletes all user data, including sender details, after just seven days. Officials told TNIE that they are also looking into whether the emails were sent directly through such services or if they were triggered by “automated bots”, some of which are reportedly sold freely on Telegram.
