Colorado Copper Theft Disrupts Transit And Emergency Communications

By Scott Weiser | The Denver Gazette At the state Capitol, legislators have responded by passing a bill aimed at cracking down down on the sale of stolen metals used in critical infrastructure.

FCC Bans Foreign Routers Over Chinese Cyber Threat Concerns

China’s covert SIM farms exposed: Federal agents uncover nationwide spy network

By Steve Baker & Joseph M.

Sources in the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. intelligence community said these SIM card networks were operating in the United States as early as 2004.
