Cache of Devices Capable of Crashing Cell Network Found Near U.N.
The Secret Service has discovered a cache of devices near the United Nations headquarters that could potentially disrupt cellular networks. The cache reportedly contains over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers, which are capable of disabling cellular towers or being used for surveillance purposes.
According to investigators, there is no specific evidence to suggest that this operation posed a threat to the ongoing U.N. General Assembly meeting. However, the presence of such a large cache of potentially dangerous equipment near a major international event has raised questions about the security of such locations.
It is unclear who was responsible for the cache, but authorities have not indicated any immediate security threats. The discovery has prompted a review of security protocols at the U.N. headquarters and surrounding areas.
As of now, there are no indications that this operation was linked to any specific group or country. However, the potential for these devices to be used for malicious purposes remains a concern for global cybersecurity experts.
