I see the #Trump admin is supplying “only the best people” for his predecessors’ #security.
A #US #SecretService special agent on former first lady #JillBiden’s security detail accidentally shot their own leg at the Philadelphia International Airport [#PHL] Friday morning, an agency official said.

@JoshuaHolland Why did Trump think he had support from the #military to overthrow the #government, republic and #Constitution?
Why does the #January6Committee Report give a pass to #Federalistsociety #FBI #ChristopherWray #USSS #JamesMurray #DOD #Trump pick #ChristopherMiller #RyanMcCarthy #CharlesFlynn #WalterPiatt? They did nothing before #January6 when they were open calls for Civil War, besides the Intel.
Gen #MarkMilley testified “everyone knew” #Jan6 would be violent
-
@sethcotlar #RayEpps should be investgated, but there may be nothing there.
More consequential; #January6Committee was charged by law with fully investigating the #January6 events and causes, but glibly gave a pass to #FederalistSociety #FBI Dir #ChristopherWray #USSS head #JamesMurray and #Trump Acting Sec Def #ChristopherMiller who did nada before and on #J6.
#MarkMilley said there was concern there'd a be a coup; who did #DonaldTrump think he had support from, and why?

Secret Service knew of #NeoNazi violent plans to occupy the #Capitol:

@kevinrns I am sorry to see that you are confused.
The point is: This is not what the #USSS makes it out to be. Yet, many publications have, uncritically, copied the verbiage of the USSS.
When someone cryies "WOLF!" and you point out that it is really a cat, the exact cat breed is of lesser importance.
-
@kevinrns Good question. Maybe the #USSS only found 10%!
Same result. Manhattan alone has 4 mio people on a normal day, and probably more M2M-SIMs on top. An extra million "nefarious" SIMs means ~+10% for the networks.
Also, it makes no sense to build such a complex "attack" system. He who wants to disrupt mobile networks would use cheap jammers from multiple locations (remember it's 3D).
If they want to wreak sophisticated chaos, they would deploy fake cell sites. Not #SIM farms.

...so theoretically, it should be easy to block all #911 calls coming from that #telecom provider if they suddenly feed 100k 911 calls at once. That would affect that provider's legit customers, but not the overall network, and 911 would continue to work for everyone else.The confiscated #SIM farms were surely used for an untoward purpose like spam, fraud, difficult to trace nefarious calls and maybe drug deals. So yeah, shut them down.
-
5/n
Maybe. That depends on the routing setup and mitigation efforts the service provider, the mobile network, any intermediary provider, and the #911 call centre itself have.I don't know how well the various 911 callcentres in the #Tristate area around #Manhattan are prepared for Denial of Service attacks. But the overall #telecom infrastructure wouldn't be affected.
It seems that many (all?) of the #SIM cards confiscated by the #USSS were from the same company. So it should be easy...

In high-rise environments like #Manhattan, mobile #telecom networks are designed in 3D.If you have a few thousand SIM cards on, say, the 20th floor, you can take out the local cell, probably affect the 19th and 21st floor as well, and maybe the offices on a similar level across the street. But down on the sidewalk, nobody would take note.
But you sure can't attack the mobile networks inside the UN from a few blocks over.
Could someone block #911 by fielding 100k calls at once?
-
3/n
Yes, but no one would notice. Most of these cells are tiny, covering a very small area, which is also covered by several additional cells. Such mobile network cells go offline all the time, to save power, for maintenance, to improve reception in other areas, due to equipment failure, etc. Users don't notice.Now in a place like #Manhattan, mobile network cell design is a different beast. Due to high-rise buildings, #telecom networks can't be designed in 2D.
#USSS -

Sure, in a village such as Oberzögersdorf, you can bring down one of the networks with a DOS-attack if you have a couple thousand SIM cards.But such bucolic areas have few, large mobile #network cells, planned in 2D.
In densely populated areas, that doesn't fly. There are many many cells, on very different frequencies, running in parallel, atop one another, in complex hierarchical topographies.
Could you take one down with a few thousand #SIM cards?
-
Kudos to the US Secret Service #USSS for their big success!
No, not the dismantling of five #SIM farms, but the almost complete domination of the media sphere: " #Telecom threat", "crippling" "DANGER to the UNITED NATIONS!!!"
Of course it is bullshit, mostly.
Think about it: They found some 100k SIM cards at 5 locations distributed over an area about the size of Cyprus. But the most densely populated part of North America, which includes #Manhattan .

Good analysis, as always, from Matt Blaze about the SIM server and the USSS.

#FreeSpeech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression in a stmnt said #JamesComey’s post “is political speech protected by the #FirstAmendment.”
“It neither constitutes a true threat nor merits federal investigation. 86 has a lot of possible meanings, & the idea that spelling it out in seashells & posting it to IG is a true threat is quite a stretch. The admin should drop any investigation of Comey because it’s an unconstitutional waste of time.”

The U.S. Secret Service is just there for looks now? Wtaf.
“Despite assurances from the White House that the TASS correspondent [russian state media] had not been approved, the staffer’s presence in the Oval Office highlights a significant breach of protocol from the White House. As the White House takes control of the pool roster, the TASS staffer’s presence represents a potential security lapse on the White House’s part.”

#FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said that while investigators still don’t have a sense of the gunman’s #motive, they have recently discovered a set of online posts believed to have been made by him in 2019 & 2020 that reflect “#antisemitic & anti-#immigration themes” & espoused #PoliticalViolence.

I will say, this is also the #Senate hearing, last week, was the #House. #HouseRepublicans are a clown show who engage far more in #PerformativePolitics than the #Republicans in the Senate.
*edit: exceptions to the statement “being more respectful” & not a clown / engaging in performative politics, w/the added bonus on indulging in #ConspiracyTheories: Sens/tools #RonJohnson, #RickScott, #MikeLee, #JoshHawley, the usual #MAGA bootlickers.

#SecretService Director #Cheatle resigns in connection w/ #Trump rally shooting
#USSS Dir Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tues in connection w/the assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania, acc/to a copy of a letter sent to agency staff.
“As your Director, I take full responsibility for the #security lapse,” Cheatle wrote. “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that, I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/23/secret-service-director-cheatle-scrutiny/

Director Cheatle has resigned from her post at the US Secret Service after yesterday’s atrociously incompetent responses to the oversight committee. #USSS #cheatle #breakingnews #news

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said that Iran “strongly rejects any involvement in the recent armed attack against Trump,” adding, “This accusation is just insulting: we wouldn’t let the Secret Service see our shooter on the roof a full 20 minutes before they fired. I mean, come on, we’re better at assassinations than that.”

Ich glaube, nachdem nun selbst einige Medien aus dem InfoSec-Bereich die stark nach Humbug riechende SIM-Farm-Geschichte des USSS völlig unkritisch übernommen haben, bin ich wohl gezwungen, den Medienkonsum einiger Medien zu überdenken.
Positiv erwähnt sei Seytonic.
