Phil Muncaster UK / EMEA News Reporter , Infosecurity Magazine
An Italian national has been sentenced to three years behind bars after threatening to blow up NHS hospitals, MPs and Black Lives Matters protesters over the past year.
Berlin resident Emil Apreda, 33, was identified by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) after emailing a series of threats to the Health Service last year, starting with a £10m Bitcoin extortion demand.
Apreda is said to have done so from his Berlin apartment, using anonymization techniques such as use of a Tor browser, to stay hidden. He claimed in the notes he was a member of far right organization Combat18.
