FBI liaison: Jewish center threats unlike anything we've seen

"SNIP............



Paul Goldenberg told BuzzFeed Wednesday that the nationwide threats have likely been coordinated using “spoofing” technology.

“Spoofing” is a tactic where a phone call originates from a seemingly friendly or known source, Goldenberg said, only to come from someone else.

Goldenberg, who is national director of Secure Community Network, a homeland security initiative focusing on the Jewish community, added that “voice-masking technology” may also be involved.

“I have been in business for two decades, and we have never seen a number at this level in a short period of time,” he said, adding the Secure Community Network is working with the FBI “24/7” since the threats began. "You can’t even compare it.”

The clay feet of their last great white hope are already crumbling. They will war against every hated target, but these bomb threats - they are building for a truly horrific act.
