Sim Farms..

 

In September 2025, the U.S. Secret Service discovered and dismantled a network of "SIM farms" in the New York City area

. Authorities found hundreds of servers and over 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites, including abandoned apartments, located within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations headquarters.

The investigation was prompted by a series of anonymous telephonic threats made to high-level U.S. government officials, including some with the Secret Service and the White House.

• The sites were found within 35 miles of the United Nations, and the raid occurred shortly before world leaders gathered for the annual U.N. General Assembly.
• The Secret Service and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) seized more than 300 SIM servers and over 100,000 active SIM cards, calling it one of the most sweeping communications threats ever found on U.S. soil.
• The devices were used to conduct anonymous, encrypted communications. Officials believe the network was used by foreign governments, drug cartels, human trafficking rings, and other criminal organizations.
