"The authorities were not prepared for a hacking attack like the one with bomb alerts at schools across the country.

She managed to bring turmoil, panic.

Serious measures must be taken, because from here on we will live in this regime".

This was stated by Yavor Kolev, an expert in cyber security, to Nova TV.

According to him, these are hacktivist groups that carry out hacktivist attacks.

"We are starting to live in this regime - we will receive hacktivist attacks and we have to react," Kolev said.

He added that there needs to be a special group to assess whether the signals are real and issue a protocol to respond to.

According to clinical psychologist Velislava Donkina, bomb threats against schools are something that shows once again how complicated the times we live in are.

"There is a breakdown of institutions and values.

That leaves people alone.

When something like this happens, there is a regression - a state in which fears, needs, inability to cope, erupt.

This can be characteristic of both an individual and a whole group.

When there are no internal foundations to lean on, when you don't have established algorithms, you usually act impulsively - instinctively, aggressively, destructively," said Donkina.

"In my profession, we say we do what we can at the moment with the experience we have," Donkina said.

She added that in this chaos, people are easily manipulated and aggressive.
