"“My instinct is this is #espionage,” said Ferrante, who previously served in top cybersecurity positions at the White House & the FBI."

In addition to jamming the cellular network, [Anthony J. Ferrante, the global head of the #cybersecurity practice at FTI] said, such a large amount of equipment near the #UN could be used for #Eavesdropping."

Anthony J. Ferrante, the global head of the #cybersecurity practice at FTI, an international consulting firm, said the operation appeared to be sophisticated & costly.

“My instinct is this is #espionage,” said Ferrante, who previously served in top cybersecurity positions at the White House & the FBI.

In addition to jamming the cellular network, he said, such a large amount of equipment near the #UN could be used for #eavesdropping.
