HILTON, N.Y. — The bomb threat that led to the evacuation of the Hilton School District on Wednesday came from a “mail.ru” email address, a Russian domain.

The email address that sent the threat is “dazhydts@mail.ru”. According to software company LiveAgent, “mail.ru” is one of the largest email providers in Russia and is managed by a Russian company.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is working with federal agents to identify the sender of the threat, which claimed that pipe bombs were placed in all Hilton schools, the district office, and the superintendent’s house. Deputies found no bombs.

Here is the threat that was sent from the “mail.ru” address to local news stations around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday:
