The Secret Service says it thwarted a telecommunications cyber-op in New York City.
On Tuesday, the agency announced that it seized a network of SIM servers.
It included over 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites.
A Secret Service official told The New York Times that it was powerful enough to send 30 million anonymous text messages per minute.
"The Secret Service will continue to run down all leads until we fully understand the intent of the operation and identify those responsible."
