NY- Secret Service dismantles telecom threat around UN capable of crippling cell service in NYC, 23 Sep, 2025.

I would suspect the point in making it public to let the world know what is going on. I think most will have a good idea who is behind this and recognize the threat it poses. It is a volley in the public opinion war.

I think it was made public to say, "Ain't gonna happen here."

But, I'm a NYer so I hope that's what the message was.

The U.S. Secret Service 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, which represented an imminent threat to the agency’s protective operations.

While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.

These devices were concentrated within 35 miles of the global meeting of the United Nations General Assembly now underway in New York City.

I wonder who the 'known individuals' are.

I would question whether it is necessarily a good move to let the enemy know you've rumbled them. When the German Enigma codes were broken at Bletchley Park, British intelligence didn't immediately go out and tell the Germans that the codes had been broken, but kept quiet about it and used the ability to decode messages to create a lasting military advantage which played a very significant part in the Battle of the Atlantic. Eventually the Germans started to figure the situation out but by then it was too late.

If the US secret service believes there may be similar networks in other cities, it might have been better to keep quiet about the discovery of the network in New York while hunting for and dismantling the other ones.

Whoever put it in place would likely know it had been discovered and rendered inoperational since they would have a way to test it. And the SS or NYC couldn't run the risk of leaving it in place and operational would be very irresponsible.

[L]aw enforcement sources said that similar operations had been uncovered in California and the Midwest in recent weeks.

The sources said that the investigation is ongoing but they appeared to be linked to spam calls, but also could have a more benign purpose like acting as a proxy for international calling cards.

Some cybersecurity experts also warned about the potential for dangerous security threats from the devices.

Investigators discovered the trove of devices — including more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards — within 35 miles of the United Nations.
