[ExI] SIM farm attack prep?

[spike at rainier66.com]

Adrian or any other hipsters on this topic: I read news stories last week about a SIM farm that was discovered and disabled in New York.  Mainstream news stories often get stuff so wrong it is practically useless, but they claim the Secret Service found multiple sites filled with servers and cell phones and active SIM cards and such as that.

 

The news agency offered this photo, which was puzzling why they would have that business in the same room with that enormous tray of nigiri.

 



 

But I saw it and immediately commented:  mmmmmmm suuuuushiiiii… and ran out to get some of that marvelous stuff.  I bet I could eat that whole thing shown there in one day.  I went to my local bar, devoured several endangered marine species to the brink of extinction.  

 

But I never did get back to the SIM farm story.

 

So hipsters, they found this SIM farm which the Secret Service claims could have been used to cripple the 911 network and the cell phone communications by massive simultaneous attack and so forth.  If so this is preparation for electronic warfare.  Do have that about right?  Where can I get the real story, with tech deetz and all that?
