There are IoT SIMs available on most major carriers, which are intended for economical occasional low-data usage on large numbers of devices. They're popular in GPSes among other things.
5G is looking to reduce the cost of them further as LPWA is a key part of the standard.
- avh02 6y agomaybe one way to fight this is by finding a way to abuse these SIMs/connections to use a lot of data en masse until they get cut off or dropped altogether.
- blame_lewis 6y agoThey can easily be remotely disabled if there's any suspicious activity, ie to any other server than the telemetry backend.
- avh02 6y agoExactly what I meant, and then you use their own SIM to DoS or DDoS them until they or their network provider disconnect the service.
