Hacking and Security / Signals Disrupted
« on: February 11, 2014, 09:33:01 pm »
For about 3 hours my Straight Talk cell phone and Comcast internet was down. At the exact same time, they come back online.
I talked to a few of my neighbors and they confirmed that their internet, cell phones and even one persons landline phone wasn't working.
Does anyone know how this happened?
Straight Talk and Comcast stated there were no outages in my area. So, I'm thinking someone was using a jamming device of some sort.
Another thing to take into consideration, my backup cell phone - which is NOT a smart phone - was working flawlessly.
