U.S. Secret Service foiled a hidden telecom network near NYC that could have disrupted cell service during the 2025 U.N. General Assembly.
The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a hidden telecom network near New York City before the 2025 U.N. General Assembly, preventing potential disruption of cell service across Manhattan and surrounding areas.
The system, found in multiple locations within 35 miles of the U.N., included over 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards capable of jamming signals, overloading networks, and blocking emergency calls.
Officials say the network could have severely impacted communications during a high-profile international event, posing risks to public safety and national security.
While the origin and intent remain under investigation, the operation underscores growing concerns about vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and the threat of cyber-physical attacks.
No arrests have been made, and no disruptions occurred during the assembly.
