Almost daily bomb threats keep Austria busy, including three threats in Upper Austria within just one week. In an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, an IT expert explains why it is so difficult for investigators to trace an anonymous email.

The eerie and mysterious series of bomb threats that has been keeping the Austrian security authorities busy for the past week continues. This time, the Vienna Provincial Court was affected on Wednesday morning. As with the other operations at train stations, schools or a shopping center, nothing was found.
