Wanna know something crazy about Moscow's holiday festivities? You might wanna prep for a comms outage! It'sching, huh? That's right, the city's mobile internet and calls could be all up in the air, thanks to good ol' security measures. And no, this ain't just some hearsay - it's been confirmed by the Unified State System for Emergency Prevention and Response. Already, locals have been noticing some wonky internet and call issues on their mobile devices.
Why the clampdown, you ask? Well, according to Igor Bederov, director of the investigation department at T.Hunter, these measures ain't just about keeping enemies on the ground. Nope, drone control is a thing too! Seems those flying buzzards (not the delicious kind, unfortunately) use GPS and Wi-Fi signals, in addition to mobile network base stations, to pinpoint their position. Can't operate 'em effectively without a signal, right?
But that ain't all. The absence of mobile comms could also hinder the deployment of explosive devices triggered through the good ol' GSM network. Jamming those radio channels? Makes it a whole lot harder for nefarious types to set off those babies.
