Microsoft’s headquarters in Athens, Greece have once again been the target of a bomb threat, almost ten months after a group of armed men launched a terrorist attack over the same buildings.

According to a report by ekathimerini.com, local authorities have quickly responded to the emergency call and decided to evacuate the offices in the northern suburb of Maroussi. While no other details are available for the time being, police officers have restricted access to the area and an investigation is underway.

The June 2012 attacks involved a grouped of armed men who attempted to ram a van full with gas into one of Microsoft’s buildings in the office.

While no terrorist group has confirmed the attacks, the three men driving the stolen car managed to escape. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the floor of the building was heavily damaged.
