Secret Service dismantles 'telecommunications threat' near UN General Assembly in New York
foxnews.com ^ | September 23, 2025 | Greg Norman

The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that it "dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials."

The devices were concentrated within 35 miles of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City, it added.

"This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites," the Secret Service said in a statement. "In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. "

"While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement," it also said.

"The potential for disruption to our country’s telecommunications posed by this network of devices cannot be overstated," U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran said.

The UN is far past its expiration date. Its usefulness is virtually zero, and its corruption and problems are never-ending.

These sites are pretty easy to find with existing networking skills.
This site has probably been there for at least 10 years.

They are all over the USA and fairly simple to setup.
Power consumption is the easiest way to ID a server farm.
Someone has to be paying the bill.

> Nation state electronic warfare plain for all to see.

Corps gave in to allow governments back doors in telecommunications resulted in these Mad Spy-Vs-Spy scenarios where everything is hackable and every government is hacking it.

Ever since I read the Snowden drops on Der Spiegel I’ve become vastly disillusioned at how much suborning is going on. The feds literally funded the basis for most malware and spyware found today, other nation-states jumped on the spying gravy train and contributed their own; The US Government has been actively suborning computer security, building it in from the base of the tool chain on up. When you ask questions about obvious exposures vendors clam up and deny. Meanwhile other governments (e.g. China) exploit the holes and add their own, everybody’s doing it.

Ignorant IT executives open their underwear to this all the time. Hence things like Solarwinds https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/solarwinds-cyber-attack wind up enjoying widespread penetration even after the cybersecurity due diligence.

“Palestinian” nation?

They {People, absent any scientific “DNA,” claiming to be Palestinian} come from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Sudan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Algeria, Albania, Circassia, Armenia etc. There is no such thing as a Palestinian.

There is no ‘P’ in the Arabic language. So how can you have a “group of people” calling them selves Palestinian(s.)
