Secret Service Uncovers Massive Threat: Chinese-Linked Network Near UN
The U.S. Secret Service has discovered a clandestine communication network near the United Nations headquarters in New York. The network, comprising over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers, posed a significant threat to critical infrastructure and senior U.S. officials.
The agency revealed that the network had the capability to disrupt the entire cell phone network in New York City. It was used to conduct telecommunications-related threats towards senior U.S. government officials, potentially compromising the Secret Service's protective operations.
The network was highly sophisticated, with a secret communication link hidden by the Chinese government. Intelligence agencies described it as an imminent threat, prompting a swift response. The Secret Service has since dismantled the network and is currently investigating who placed the equipment.
The investigation involves analyzing data from over 100,000 cell phones. Officials suspect the network could also facilitate encrypted communications between threat actors, suggesting a coordinated effort.
The discovery of this secret communication network underscores the importance of vigilance in protecting critical infrastructure. The U.S. Secret Service's prompt action has mitigated a substantial threat, but investigations continue to ensure no further risks remain.
