A minor in Cyprus has been identified by the Cyber Crime Division as the sender of emails on Sunday, January 1, 2024, falsely claiming explosives had been placed at all airports in Greece.

A case has been filed against the minor for threatening to commit a terrorist act, while the parents face charges for neglecting their duty to supervise the child.
