The U.S. Secret Service has seized over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in New York City, near the United Nations. The equipment is capable of disrupting cellular networks or conducting surveillance.
The network involved has the potential to send 30 million text messages per minute. Authorities are investigating possible links to foreign espionage or criminal organizations, with indications that it may be connected to a foreign nation, according to reports from The New York Times.
This operation highlights ongoing concerns about security and potential threats in urban areas, particularly near significant international institutions. The investigation is still active, and further details are expected to emerge as authorities continue their work.
