U.S. Secret Service Foils Major Plot to Disrupt New York's Telecommunications
U.S. Secret Service has thwarted a major plot to disrupt New York's telecommunications system. The scheme, orchestrated by the NY Post, involved a vast number of SIM cards and servers, posing a significant threat to critical resources like the 911 system. Investigators uncovered over 400,000 SIM cards and hundreds of servers at various locations. The sheer quantity of SIM cards found in New Jersey alone doubled the previously seized amount, totaling 200,000. The equipment's capability was alarming - it could send a staggering 30 million anonymous text messages per minute, risking network overload. The plot, reported by the NY Post, had the potential to jam 911 calls and cause widespread chaos on communications networks nationwide. This threat to public communication abilities was taken extremely seriously. Despite extensive searches, no information about the mastermind behind the scheme has been revealed. The individual had access to high positions, including direct access to President Donald Trump at the time. The discovery of this plot highlights the importance of vigilance in protecting critical infrastructure. The vast number of SIM cards and servers seized underscores the potential severity of the disruption. While the identity of the mastermind remains unknown, the U.S. Secret Service's prompt action has averted a significant threat to New York's telecommunications system and public safety.
