Police believe a string of nine robberies in Edina have used this tech.

    as tech becomes cheaper and easier to acquire

    I didn’t know an improperly sealed microwave oven was such a difficult thing to get ones hands on.

      I think they’re talking about it from the other end: more cheap tech like wifi security cameras means more people are vulnerable to “an improperly sealed microwave”

        No. They’re talking about the jammers getting cheap and easy to get. Cheap wifi security cameras have been a thing for over a decade now. Then got stupid dirt cheap in 2017 when wyze started selling one for $20.

      2.4GHz wifi is vulnerable to even lower power attacks: Just spamming de-auth packets is enough to render a network useless.

        More of a boil situation. Nothing’s getting golden brown and delicious in this scenario.

      They’re not, but a little cumbersome to carry around and find power on a heist.

      There are loads of little pocket sized battery powered jammers available now.
