The Secret Service today announced that it recently disrupted a hidden telecom network in the New York Tri-State Area that had the potential to wreak havoc on New York’s telecom systems and posed a threat to United Nations General Assembly meetings this week. As around 150 world leaders were preparing to arrive in Manhattan for the assembly, in the background, the Secret Service was taking down a system that investigators have said could have crippled cell towers, made 911 calls impossible, and, in general, caused chaos in the city not unlike something from a Hollywood movie.
