flag NYPD shuts down SIM-farm network with 100K fake SIM cards, exposing major telecom vulnerabilities.

flag A New York City operation dismantled a large SIM-farm network with over 100,000 cloned SIM cards and hundreds of servers, exposing a growing threat to critical infrastructure. flag The low-cost scheme can disrupt emergency services, air traffic control, and healthcare by flooding telecom networks with fake traffic, exploiting trust in device authenticity. flag Unlike traditional attacks, it relies on asymmetry—minimal effort causing massive disruption—potentially triggering national emergencies and geopolitical tensions. flag Experts stress that real-time verification of device identity and origin is now essential, with technologies like SMX offering solutions through immutable physical markers and digital ledgers to prevent counterfeit hardware from entering systems before attacks occur.
