The most telling detail is the least technical. Why include the distance to the UN when that number is 35 miles?
Comment on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus

This Substack’s subdomain is blocked by my fake news filter so now I’m left wondering: who’s wrong?

Everything that dude says passes the sniff test: it seems like it could be explained as a run of the mill criminal spamming operation. The Secret Service story doesn’t offer evidence that there’s anyone extraordinary about it.
FWIW the dude also makes a number of unsupported statements that seem to be “trust me bro, I’m a hacker”. The statements aren’t outlandish, so maybe.

Here’s a more even-handed take from Wired: archive.today/uwx3J
They suppose that scamming/spamming is the main purpose behind the SIM farm, rather than deliberately crashing the cell network.

The Wired story says the same thing but with more context and less “trust me, bro”.
They are both interesting reads.
