Police in Florham Park, New Jersey, recently warned residents that a new type of criminal method is quietly spreading. Thieves use Wifi jammers to disrupt home security systems and even prevent victims from using their phones to make emergency calls. This incident not only sounded the alarm, but also prompted police to remind citizens to raise safety awareness and take effective preventive measures.
Case details: How do Wi-Fi jammers work?
According to the police, a resident found that his security camera suddenly stopped working when he was at his home on Lincoln Avenue. At the same time, his mobile phone signal was also interfered and he could not call 911 for help. Robert Siciliano, CEO of Protect Now LLC, said in an interview: “Wi-Fi signal jammers work in a similar way to cell phone jammers. They can make home security systems ineffective.”
Police analysis said that thieves may weaken the functions of cameras and alarm systems by blocking Wi-Fi signals to avoid being monitored and recorded. Mobile phone signals may also be affected, hindering residents from calling for help, making it difficult for them to seek help in time.
