On September 2, 2024, several schools in Latvia reported receiving low-risk threat emails on the first day of the new academic year. The emails contained 'low risk' threats that caused concern but did not pose immediate danger. Armands Ruks, head of the State Police’s '900 seconds' program, confirmed the receipt of multiple such emails and noted they were being investigated as potentially hazardous but low-risk threats. Schools largely functioned normally with students attending classes, although some needed to evacuate as a precaution. The police and educational authorities monitored the situation closely, emphasizing vigilance and security measures to protect children from potential dangers. The incident underscores continued challenges in school security and the use of cyberspace for intimidation tactics.
