Secret Service Cracks Down on SIM Farms

The Secret Service found many “SIM farms” near New York. World leaders are meeting at the United Nations now. Agents found servers with many SIM cards inside them.

Matt McCool said they found over 100,000 active SIM cards. He said this was a well-funded and organized operation.

Officials said the network could have caused big problems. It could be like the phone problems after 9/11 and the Boston bombing.

SIM farms use many SIM cards to send messages or calls. They can be used for scams, like fake texts and calls.

The devices were close to the United Nations building. Experts think they could send secret messages to bad groups.
