The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a new security resource to help K–12 schools across the United States respond to anonymous threats.

The “Anonymized Threat Response Guidance,” released on Sept. 25 and developed in cooperation with the FBI, offers schools, law enforcement agencies, and community partners essential strategies for addressing anonymous threats of violence, especially those originating on social media, according to CISA’s Sept. 25 statement.
