Secret Service Busts Massive Network Used in Swatting Attacks Against Marjorie Taylor Greene, Other Republicans
Breitbart ^ | 9/23/2025 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 09/23/2025 9:31:56 AM PDT by Tell It Right

The Secret Service has uncovered a vast network of over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in the New York area, believed to be used by foreign “nation-state threat actors” and criminals for swatting calls targeting prominent conservatives including Marjorie Taylor Greene. The amount of hardware seized in the bust could be used to hamper cell service in New York City.

While no arrests have been made in connection with the operation, early forensic analysis suggests that the network has been utilized by cartels, human traffickers, and terrorists. “It is absolutely well funded and well-organized,” McCool stated, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

Kudos to the Secret Service for uncovering it. Now I wonder how many others are across the US?

How do we know that Schumer, the Wadler and AOC are not behind this?

This here is a substantive, and highly important discovery.
The administration needs to know how this doxxing and swatting is happening. To make the discovery matter at all, several arrests or indictments need to happen soon.
Otherwise, findings of this investigation will quickly evaporate in a light, warm mist, effecting nothing. Don’t expect any help from the media, broadcasting what has happened.

What foreign nation state is angry at MTG? She’s hard anti illegal alien, and very against the actions of the Israelis. Any other candidates since they aren’t telling us and there are no arrests associated with these large scale raid?

I'll guess too......let's see. A recent recollection I have is of a Chinese Police Force operating covertly through-out the NYC area and bringing pain and discord to dissident Chinese community members in the Tri-State Region. I believe that operation was partially dismantled at the time but I suspect this comms network was a significant enabler for that type of operation.

I have no proof of this, just a Spidey-Sense.

State actor (China)? Cartel connected? There has to be fingerprints, literal and digital.

Is this a part of the ‘dark web’ we hear about?

Wonder if that swarm of drones operating over that general area a few months ago were tracking down this network.

this kind of operation would require some sophistication.

None of those three have got two braincells to rub together.

Sounds like another 9/11, which was developed during Biden's term, just like 9/11 was building up during Bill Clinton's administration.

The swatting attacks may not be of the violent type, but it can be a lot more damaging if not stopped in time.

No. The dark web is mainly about using the same internet we all use, only without the domain names. For example, you can go to FR like we always do with either the web site name like this:

https://freerepublic.com/

Or with the IP address for FR like this:

45.79.56.181

Think of the dark web as IP addresses without domain names, and the few people who use it using know the IP addresses. Like calling unlisted phone numbers known only by friends.

Renting a DDOS mob has been a sad fact of technology for some time, but the scale of this is mind-boggling. It isn’t really that expensive to set up a cloud server - somewhere between $5 and $100 a month depending on resources. 300 of these? $1500 - $30,000 a month. For a cartel operation or foreign state actor that’s chump change.

Yeah, I can’t believe that this hasn’t been designated as today’s “blockbuster”.
At least you’d think it could make a “bombshell”
What’s the world coming to?
