šŸ§µA good recent example of #Ukraine contesting the Mobile Network / InfoSec battlespace.

Multiple #SIMBox seizures as part of an "enemy bot farm" network were announced yesterday by the Security Service of Ukraine. 1/6

Technically this is a much bigger setup that the #SIMBox relay discovery from 2 weeks ago, (see my previous thread) which is not surprising as these are more traditional ā€˜bot farmsā€™ used for signups for social media 2/6
According to the #SBU, the 5 enemy bot farms in the network used social media (including some banned in Ukraine) to ā€œspread disinformation about a full-scale Russian invasion of our state and spread distorted news from the frontā€.

This network used 100,000 fake accounts 3/6

1/5 Another significant capture in #Ukraine. Reported discovery today of a #SIMBox being used to relay Voice calls & SMS and other info to Russian forces (including top leadership of Russian army) & other individuals in #Ukraine. I will explain what this is and how it works.
2/5
First the system is comprised of 3 main parts,
1) the SIM Box server - in this case a Hypertone SMB-128 . This handles the control of up to 128 SIM Cards, cycles them when detected etc , and co-ordinates interaction with the #GSM Gateways

3/5 Next the GSM Gateways, there are two Hypertone types being used here:
- There are 3x GoIP 8 - VoIP Gateway for 8 Channels being used,
- along with 1x GoIP-4 4 SIM VoIP GSM Gateway.
Both can be used for SMS or Voice ImageImage
