The U.S. Secret Service, a federal law enforcement agency tasked with protecting national leaders and investigating financial crimes, recently shared updates about its personnel and operational activities on social media.
On December 10, 2025, the agency highlighted the role of veterans in its workforce, stating: "More than 20% of our agency are military veterans. While the Army and Navy may have a historic rivalry on the field, they come together as one team when they join our agency."
A day later, on December 11, 2025, the Secret Service promoted recruitment opportunities: "Every day, our teams prepare for missions where focus and training make the difference. If you want a career that demands your best and gives you the chance to grow, apply now to start your new career up to 120 days sooner."
On December 12, 2025, the agency described a recent security operation: "In September, the Secret Service Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit identified and disrupted a large SIM farm near the United Nations General Assembly. Operations such as these can pose security threats that interfere with wireless communications."
The U.S. Secret Service employs thousands of individuals across various roles including protective operations for national leaders and investigative functions related to cybercrime and financial fraud. The mention of more than one-fifth of its workforce being military veterans reflects longstanding recruitment efforts targeting those with service backgrounds.
The reference to disrupting a SIM farm during events at the United Nations General Assembly underscores ongoing concerns regarding electronic interference and cybersecurity at high-profile international gatherings.
