Internet criminals have long used the huge groups of SIM cards that are operating central to everything from random mail to skiing on creating a fake account and fraudulent participation with social media or advertising campaigns. SIM cards are usually present in alleged SIM boxes that can control more than a hundred cards at one time, which in turn are connected to servers that then can control thousands of SIMS each.

The SIM farms allow “correspondence to do the speed and size that will be impossible for an individual user,” which is the source of the telecommunications industry, who asked not to be naming this due to the sensitivity of achieving the secret service and WIRE. “The technology behind these farms makes it very flexible – it can be rotated to overcome detection systems, traffic can be masked geographically, and accounts can be made to look like coming from real users.”

The communications industry source adds that pictures of SIM servers and squares published by the Secret Service indicate that the “truly organized” criminal process may be behind the preparation. “This means that there is great intelligence and great resources behind it,” the person added.

SECRT Service photos show multiple shelves of accurately prepared communications equipment, with individual pieces of numbered technology and theme, as well as covering the cables on the floor and protecting them with a tape. MC Daid says that each SIM box includes about 256 attached and attached models. “This seems more professional than many SIM farms you see,” says MC Daid.

However, MC Daid notes that it follows similar operations that were discovered in Ukraine – some of which were large or larger than that the secret service revealed on Tuesday. Over the past few years, among Ukraine law enforcement officials find out Tens of thousands From SIM cards used on SIM farms claimed by Russian actors. In one case in 2023, around it According to what was reported, 150,000 SIM cards were found.
