    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Just my guess on what they are trying to build based on the size of the operation in photo, not any scientific proof other than size. So, based on this photo here. I see they probably can have trays with rows and columns of antennas and cards. There are probably 300 of these "tray looking...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    In theory in the lab yes those are possible. However those are commercial network in NYC and they have been traffic issues that the carriers have dealt with and have solutions for. All it take is a new year's eve countdown or Time Square to saturate the network these days. I'm sure the real life...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    I am equating phones and servers. Basically to me anything that uses a sim card to get on a network is considered a phone, but the media or law enforcement may consider them a "box", "server", "router", "modem", whatever. They serve the same purpose in networking using the cell network and sim...

    Tesla Passive Supercharger Opportunity

    Depending on the depreciation. Tesla bought at a high price would be way worse in depreciation depending on the pricing of bought and sold. Camry is at least predictable and stable, even if a hybrid may also have a battery depreciation problem over time. I'd say Camry is likely still cheaper.

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Last I heard the NYC metro has like 20M people. If you want to blend in 100k fishy users you need to have a larger base. 100k / 20M is easier than 100k / 300k in a medium size city. I think we can agree on that. On the other hand. If you want to attack by overwhelm a network, you want that 100k...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Cell networks are huge, and are build to handle stadium full of patrons. You will need to exploit an internal problem like those guys at AWS accidentally deleting an entire region or someone snipping an undersea fiber cable to weaken it enough to cripple it with DDoS. Plus these days many of...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Here we go again. Basically these BMC controllers are in all reputable server so you can control it like you are there, and you can download new version to update it just like another computer's Bios and OS. They found a bug, they patch it, other companies use the same chip (like Asmedia...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    A cluster of 300 cannot take down anything meaningful in 2025. At best this is a VPN network build off cheap 1 to 1 phone connections, trying to blend into a larger population, flying under the radar. You cannot fly under the radar and DDoS to bring down a network, these 2 goals are mutually...

    Tesla Passive Supercharger Opportunity

    Elon didn't spend as much effort in the supercharging network ever since it is opened to more than just Tesla. He got bored and moved on to self driving, AI, robots etc. Freeing up the investment and let someone else do the work, while helping him sell cars, good idea I guess? I think it makes...

    Quebec halts service of all 1,200 LION electric school busses after fire

    Fukushima wouldn't have melted down if they let in sea water instead of trying to save the core and not do so. So now they have a melt down core and a whole town gone. TEPCO management is responsible for this.

    Quebec halts service of all 1,200 LION electric school busses after fire

    It is not always the wrong answer though. We don't need to turn on heat full blast every day of the year and in theory can be just as simple as a kerosene heater inside rural home. The price of EV bus is mainly economy of scale and whether the local can save enough money in fuel cost over a...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Thing is, the Cartel has been doing their own network to get around the official telco network for a long time. This sim farm seems to be just a physical VPN that interconnect between hops so they are not really traceable from one end to another. I am not sure what other benefits you can make...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Also ever since VoLTE the amount of bandwidth for a call is much much lower than 3G, and you would not overwhelm a network by making just voice call. It is much easier to buy the best bandwidth and watch 4K movies on it instead. Last time I check they are happy to let you pay and watch 4K...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    I have talked about that SuperMicro spy chip nonsense back in 2010. If you want to look it up please feel free. Basically it is one of those Bloomberg cook the book speculation for stock market pump and dump. Super Micro almost went out of business and HP / Dell took most of them afterward...

    Massive Rogue Telecom Threat Uncovered by the Secret Service in NYC

    Some of us worked in the cellular network industry. About security: you don't need a foreign country to get into security issue. We can do that locally with criminals. We can flood our whatever it is if they are not setup correctly, and we will get in trouble because of cheap carriers not setup...
