I was helping out a friend to make a presentation/training on IT Sec, and while I was searching for some fancy sim swap rigs photos, I saw this image [1] that lead me to this article [2]: "Detectives smash illegal SIM swap command centre in Ruiru"

and from the article: "Officers found 30,000 SIM cards, 240 iPhones, 150 MI phones, 2 laptops, 2 and other electrical appliances. The gadgets were plugged into a system."
