Yes. And I also have received emails from 2 out of 3 of my kids schools and our shul that they are stepping up security and monitoring the situation.

I never understood why shuls and schools are so publicly open for anyone to enter. There should be a system with a guard outside the building and a shul member ID card to gain access to the building.
Anyone have info on the details of the threat and what they found?

Money, I guess.
I read it's not specific to any shul and it's not a bomb threat. Nerve-wrecking Sad

Apparently there was chatter online. Previous attacks have stemmed from similar conversations in similar forums.

I am scared.

Ideally they are open so that anyone who wants to daven or needs a place is welcome. I know shuls in other parts of the world do have those kinds of systems because it's needed for safety. I hope we don't have to move in that direction.

I'm hoping it's just some stupid bored teenagers who called in a false threat for giggles

The FBI felt the need to publish this so it means it's a credible threat. They don't always publish these things.

In the US its not so common to have a guard, but most shuls do have locked doors and a combination to get in. If you go to Europe, though, a lot of shuls in places like Venice, Rome etc do have armed guards and they'll only let you in as an outsider if you're verified.
