The secret service discovered a network of gsm servers with 100k active sim cards dispersed across new York City which were being used by a foreign government to send death threats to top US officials.I can guarantee you that Russia or china are taking advantage of the recent violence in the US and spreading conspiracy theories and such to cause more unrest. They don't care about anyone's political affiliation.https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/09/us-uncovers-100000-sim-cards-that-could-have-shut-down-nyc-cell-network/US uncovers 100,000 SIM cards that could have “shut down” NYC cell networkThe US Secret Service announced this morning that it has located and seized a cache of telecom devices large enough to "shut down the cellular network in New York City." And it believes a nation-state is responsible.According to the agency, "more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards" were discovered at multiple locations within the New York City area. Photos of the seized gear show what appear to be "SIM boxes" bristling with antennas and stuffed with SIM cards, then stacked on six-shelf racks. (SIM boxes are often used for fraud.) One photo even shows neatly stacked towers of punched-out SIM card packaging, suggesting that whoever assembled the system invested some quality time in just getting the whole thing set up.The gear was identified as part of a Secret Service investigation into "anonymous telephonic threats" made against several high-ranking US government officials, but the setup seems designed for something larger than just making a few threats. The Secret Service believes that the system could have been capable of activities like "disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks, and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises."
Analysis of data from so many devices will take time, but preliminary investigation already suggests that "nation-state threat actors" were involved; that is, this is probably some country's spy hardware. With the UN General Assembly taking place this week in New York, it is possible that the system was designed to spy on or disrupt delegates, but the gear was found in various places up to 35 miles from the UN. BBC reporting suggests that the equipment was "seized from SIM farms at abandoned apartment buildings across more than five sites," and the ultimate goal remains unclear.While the gear has been taken offline, no arrests have yet been made, and the investigation continues.
Thank you based Trump :3
>>1441890>Russia or china are taking advantage of the recent violence in the USthey don't need to leftists are doing it for free and encouraged to by their local government to commit treason.death penalty's on the table for treason.
>>1441917>they don't need to leftists are doing it for freeThat may be true but that's not a good reason for them to not egg them on even further. If I had to use an analogy, if you want to burn down someone's home and you see a tiny fire, why wouldn't you throw fuel on it or otherwise do everything you can to make the problem worse than it already is
>>1441896>Thank you based TrumpShouldn't you be thanking MR PRESIDENT Donald J Trump
Doesn't have to be nefarious. Could have been a rig to spy on conversations in an attempt to uncover pizzagate. Calls could have been made to suspects in hopes of the link getting tapped in order to infiltrate the system... just saying, it doesn't have to be for a nefarious thing. They could have been trying to end a child trafficking ring but Trump thwarted it... I wonder why, it isn't like he is in the epstein files that don't exist...
>>1441980>Doesn't have to be nefariousIt literally says it was right in the article
>>1441986You mean the FAKE NEWS?
>>1441988Shut up retard
>>1441989I thought Trump established that it is FAKE NEWS? Was he lying?
>>1441986Where did it say nefarious or establish I'll intent? Having a big dick doesn't mean you commit rape, in relation to the hardware seized. 'Abandoned', wouldn't you if goon squads showed up while you were doing your noble work?I hear the Nazis are coming.We did nothing wrong, dear. Why run if you did nothing wrong? Berlin is our home.You're right. I like our home.
>>1441992I don't think he ever claimed the secret service was fake news.
>>1441995Did you seriously not read the article at all? There was an entire paragraph there about why the secret service was investigating it in the first place. Are you literally just not able to read English? Ill Google, translate it into whatever your native language is if you'd like
>>1441890Place your bets, what are the odds that it's a jewish operation?
>>1441997Yanno TECHNICALLY, it doesn't say this system was the one sending the threats. It only says the investigation into the latter ended up identifying the former.
>>1441890The Tunnel jews are behind this.I'd bet money on it.
>>1442090You'll be in jail for antisemitism soon
>>1441997Don't worry about the Nazis, I'm sure you'll be fine.
>>1441996I wasn't aware that the Secret Service had their own newspaper, media station, and publishing house.
>>1442143They are the ones that released this information, The only thing Ars Technica is doing is just summarizing it Secret service publications are not valid news sources
>>1442064Nah Odds are it was an operation by cyber gangs (or foreign government) reselling cellular access to people like scammers, criminals, swatters, etc.All of the gsm gateways were plugged into network routers, those devices only purpose is to expose a gsm modems over the Internet for remote management.The most likely answer here it was being used by people who were purchasing temporary access using crypto and it just so happened some of them were using them for sending death threats to high profile politicians and operating social media bots and scamming old people.On a possibly related note, since this thing got taken down I haven't seen that one bot-like poster on here that has the super odd writing styles with how it replies to people
>>1442188Ars Technica? Seems a weird place to put this story... what because it was tech hardware? That's retarded.
>muh Russia>Muh ChinaThese two haven't done shit in the past twenty years. It's always Democrats
>>1442236hi russia shill
>>1442237How many rupees does NATO pay you to post this shit?
esl shill melty commencing
>>1442212So your saying that it's odd that Ars Technica is reporting on a bust of a large scale cyber crime operation in new York City that was likely ran by a foreign government?Who do you expect to be a good source to report this? Fashion Magazine?
>>1442189Fraud
>>1441890>Russia or chinathis is goyspeak for israel
