    Yeah, it’s not common now, because all the damage it causes is someone going “Huh, the wifi is not working, I’ll switch to data”.

    If it starts to cause actual physical damage and shutdown of highways, it’ll be a lot more common.

    Any dipshit can buy a professional WIFI jammer for $2-300 online or look up build instructions for even cheaper. Plus, as the Ukraine invasion showed us, these thing can be delivered with drones remotely.

    You’re clearly not very knowledgeable about cybersecurity.

      Lololol it’s not that common, and very few people are going to risk the federal felony plus fines in the states.

      I’m curious, what’s your background that you are so educated on security that you so handily dismiss opinions as uneducated?

        It’s not that common NOW. It’s seems you either didn’t read my comment or didn’t understand it.

        very few people are going to risk the federal felony plus fines in the states.

        And how are you going to catch those people?

        Are you going to build towers to detect jamming alongside all roads and freeways in the US? That’ll be somewhat expensive.

        I’m curious, what’s your background that you are so educated on security that you so handily dismiss opinions as uneducated?

        I understand technology and have common sense.

          Spectrum analyzers are cheap and common. In the US fines can be 5 years and 100k. Very few people are and will fuck around with felony and prison.

          Understand tech and common sense. That might just be one lever above do your own research.

            Spectrum analyzers are cheap and common.

            They’re gonna need to cheap and common if you want to cover 4.2 million miles of roads in the US.

            Very few people are and will fuck around with felony and prison.

            There are an estimated 19 million felons in the US, and nearly 80 million who have a criminal record.

            Not my definition of “very few people”.

            That might just be one lever above do your own research.

            It would be great if you understood tech and had common sense, yes.

            Alas…
