“The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that it has ‘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. ‘This network had the potential to disable cellphone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network in New York City,’ Matt McCool, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s New York field office, said in a video released Tuesday. The Secret Service said it found ‘more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites…. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks.'” (09/23/25)
