Havana Syndrome tech ? I do recall being witness to some of the coolest headphones I have ever wanted. You wear a brace like necklace, and wirelessly via bluetooth transmit your music to it. You wear these things and you think you are in a vehicle with a great sound system. Shits only cost $200 at the time by JBL, however, I am very sure there are knock offs or competative brands that do the same with possible better features.

Sounds like TIMES once again is trying to phish with sensationalism for content. Stay woke wook.

Companies get hacked all the time and extorted with ransomware. The computers that control 3G/4G/5G network don't have data that can be held for ransom, but that doesn't mean they can't also be used for extortion after being hacked. What if they are modified to believe there are 50 phones in the space where a person's head is? The combined power output of the phone tower trying to connect to the non-existent phones would damage someone's tissues. Now the criminals can give that someone a notice that this won't stop unless they pay up or obey their orders.

If not even the giants of Silicon Valley are immune to hacking, there is no reason to expect telecom providers are either, even if public opinion thinks these for profit companies care more about public safety than money.
