    Everything that dude says passes the sniff test: it seems like it could be explained as a run of the mill criminal spamming operation. The Secret Service story doesn’t offer evidence that there’s anyone extraordinary about it.

    FWIW the dude also makes a number of unsupported statements that seem to be “trust me bro, I’m a hacker”. The statements aren’t outlandish, so maybe.

      I think the mainstream news sources claiming this is some attack on the cellular networks and/or the UN are wrong for sure.

      I’m not sure what he said but the headline makes it sound like the entire story (finding the equipment) is bogus.
