SOME 24,000 BOMB hoax emails were apparently sent to schools and colleges in the UK due to a Minecraft gamer feud.
Police said about 400 schools were affected and some buildings were evacuated as a result of the emails.
Sky News is reporting that the emails were made to look like they had been sent by a gaming network known as VeltPvP.
The outlet says the malicious emails were designed to result in the domain being suspended for abuse.
One of the people who sent the emails accused VeltPvP of engaging in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and targeting other rival Minecraft servers.
In a statement to Sky News, VeltPvP said: “We’ve been being harassed by a group of cybercriminals that are trying to harass us in any way possible.
“We’re extremely sorry for anyone who had to deal with this, but just know it’s fake.”

It’s a dangerous road to go down , telling them what they can & cannot invest in. Where do you stop ? Do you ban investing in Aero industries because they make fighter jets as well. Do you stop them investing in alcohol companies ? Drug companies because they overcharge ? Bakery because they use to much sugar ?
I think Martin the answer could and should be yes to all the industries you mention… except the bakeries of course, we all know cakes aren’t that bad for ye, haha
I think it would be reasonable for the government not to be hypocritical in its investments,
But I do think they need to look up the definition of hypocritical first as it would probably be a new concept for the majority of them.
Some tobacco executive will blow smoke up some minister’s ar se and it’ll be back to square one.
have your say
