U.S. Secret Service was quietly dismantling a massive hidden telecom network across the New York area
The cache, made up of more than 300 SIM servers packed with over 100,000 SIM cards and clustered within 35 miles of the United Nations, represents one of the most sweeping communications threats uncovered on U.S. soil. Investigators warn the system could have blacked out cellular service in a city that relies on it not only for daily life but for emergency response and counterterrorism.
Spread across multiple sites, the servers functioned like banks of mock cellphones, able to generate mass calls and texts, overwhelm local networks and mask encrypted communications criminals
“It can’t be understated what this system is capable of doing,”
“It can take down cell towers, so then no longer can people communicate, right? .... You can’t text message, you can’t use your cell phone. And if you coupled that with some sort of other event associated with UNGA, you know, use your imagination there, it could be catastrophic to the city.”
When agents entered the sites, they found rows of servers and shelves stacked with SIM cards. More than 100,000 were already active
The operation had the capability of sending up to 30 million text messages a minute

It may have been used by the deep state to try and cripple the communications grid and Secret Service intercepted it and stopped it.
