NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 25, 2025 / Pearl Harbor was a failure of imagination, 9/11 was a failure of detection, and the SIM-farm that almost went live in New York is a failure of provenance. They found 300 servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards tucked into apartments inside the city’s orbit. That was not a prank or a fraud ring. That was logistics at scale, built to turn everyday telecom hardware into a weapon of disruption. The haunting part is that the operation was domestic. It was not hidden in an adversary’s backyard. It was parked on our doorstep, waiting for a bell to toll.

Make no mistake, the opening bell matters. If those SIMs had activated at the right moment, the result would not have been mere interference. It would have been the opening bell. The United States would not have treated the event as a localized crime. It would have treated it as an act of war. The response would be orders of magnitude larger than the initial incident, and that escalation is what should keep everyone up at night. What follows is not fevered fantasy. It is the arithmetic of escalation when critical systems fail.

That is why this is not just a telecom problem. It is a geopolitical hazard. Modern societies run on networks that assume authenticity by default. When authenticity is weaponized at scale, consequences ripple. A jammed grid, a blinded sensor farm at a nuclear site, or a suffocated emergency channel does not require a single bomb. Technology alone can create catastrophic cascades. The opening bell does not need flash and smoke; it only needs scale and plausible deniability. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) technology can ensure that doesn’t happen.

Defending at the Molecular Level

If we want to be scary authentic, then we should be honest about the margin of error. Our current posture relies on people, audits, and after-the-fact forensics. That is not deterrence. That is a wish. SMX offers a different posture. The company embeds microscopic, chemically unique markers into plastics and housings, then ties those markers to immutable records. Every SIM card, every router, every edge modem can carry a permanent, machine-readable identity that answers three questions in seconds: where did this part come from, who handled it, and is this the same component that passed certification. When activation occurs off the record, the ledger lights up. The alarm is automatic. The opening bell never sounds.

This is not mere theater. Provenance at the component level turns supply chains into checkpoints. Carriers could refuse activation for parts without verifiable markers. Regulators could demand an auditable identity as a condition of service. Investigators could trace cloned parts back to warehouses and purchase records in minutes, rather than spending months untangling theory from provenance. A logistics operation that relied on anonymity collapses the instant identity is enforced at scale. Proof is not a feature. It is a weapon against weaponized scale.

Technology, Not a Weapons Arsenal, Is Prevention

Technology that proves is technology that prevents. SMX’s platform has already been proven in contexts where counterfeit and fraud matter, from recycled plastics to complex manufacturing lines. The same molecular fingerprinting that certifies recycled material can certify telecom hardware. The ledger that records a polymer’s origin can record a SIM’s chain of custody. If policy treats supply chains like national infrastructure, SMX becomes the kind of force multiplier you do not build after the discovery, you mandate before the attack.

We must also be candid about escalation. If an attack like this had been the opening bell, the U.S. response would not have been measured punches. It would have been a sequence of hard moves, some kinetic, some economic, some cyber. That is the very point. Deterrence is effective when the first move is costly to execute and when attacks cannot hide behind anonymity. If the smallest parts can be audited in minutes, the calculus changes. Actors lose leverage and governments lose excuses. The world should be afraid of escalation. It should also be angrier at the fact that escalation is avoidable.

Treat provenance as policy. Fund cross-carrier readers. Require tamper-evident identity in procurement. Build shared ledgers that flag anomalies in real time, not weeks after the fact. Those steps shrink the window for logistics-led attacks and deny adversaries the one thing they need most, anonymity. The Secret Service did its job this time. SMX can make sure the next time there is a plot, it dies before the opening bell ever gets a chance to ring.

CHEYENNE, WY / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / Builder Prime, the comprehensive business management platform designed specifically for home improvement contractors, today announced the successful completion of its Series B funding round, led by Blueprint Equity. The investment will accelerate Builder Prime’s mission to eliminate the chaos of running a contracting business by providing a unified platform that transforms how contractors manage their operations, customer relationships, and growth.

For too long, home improvement contractors have juggled multiple disconnected tools-spreadsheets for estimates, separate apps for scheduling, different systems for customer communication, and manual processes for payments. Builder Prime changes that equation entirely. By consolidating CRM, estimating, project management, payments, reporting, and customer communication into one intelligent platform, Builder Prime creates what contractors have been searching for: a single source of truth for their entire business.

The company currently serves more than 500 contractors nationwide, with impressive momentum reflected in a growth rate of 100+% YoY growth in 2024, positioning Builder Prime as one of the fastest-growing solutions in the competitive home improvement software landscape. These aren’t just numbers; they represent hundreds of contractors who’ve found their rhythm, streamlined their operations, and discovered newfound confidence in managing their businesses.

Investing in the Future of Home Improvement

Capital from the Series B round will be invested in enhancing the customer experience, advancing Builder Prime’s core product, and delivering innovations that help contractors harness the power of their data. Rather than generic AI implementations, Builder Prime is developing intelligent tools that understand the unique challenges contractors face-from seasonal demand fluctuations to complex project coordination.

“This funding allows us to double down on what matters most: our customers,” said Jonathan Weinberg, Founder and CEO of Builder Prime. “Contractors deserve technology that works as hard as they do-giving them accurate, real-time data to make better decisions, grow their businesses, and provide exceptional service for their customers and communities. We’re proud to continue building a platform that truly serves the industry, while pushing the boundaries of innovation with AI.”

Sheldon Lewis, Managing Partner of Blueprint Equity, emphasized the strategic importance of this investment: “The home improvement industry has been waiting for technology that contractors actually want to use, not just need to use. Builder Prime has cracked that code, and we’re excited to back a team that truly understands this massive, underserved market.”

The home improvement industry, valued at over $400 billion annually, has historically lagged behind other sectors in technology adoption. Builder Prime is changing that narrative by proving that sophisticated software can be both powerful and intuitive, even for contractors who aren’t the most tech-savvy.

About Builder Prime

Builder Prime is the all-in-one business management platform combining contractor CRM, estimating, production management, marketing automation, payments, and reporting specifically for home improvement contractors. With Builder Prime, contractors streamline operations, win more jobs, and achieve sustainable growth. For more information, visit www.builderprime.com.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / This week’s foiled SIM-card plot in New York should be read as both a relief and a lesson. The boots on the ground from the Secret Service, FBI, and local partners deserve absolute praise. Their persistence, tireless surveillance, and hundreds, if not thousands, of man-hours turned up the break that stopped a sprawling SIM farm before it could silence or alter critical communications during the UN General Assembly. That kind of work matters, and it must be applauded.

But applause does not mean complacency. Relying on human resources and chance to catch sophisticated operators is neither scalable nor sustainable. That is why SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) exists. The hardware, SIM cards, and server racks that enabled this scheme moved through supply chains that are murky by design. When bad actors can buy, hide, and activate 100,000 SIMs without a trace, the system has failed before law enforcement even starts. SMX brings the missing layer of certainty back into those chains.

SMX technology turns anonymous plastics and electronics into verifiable evidence. Whereas today you need people in vans and months of digging, SMX provides machine-level verification that is immediate, tamper-resistant, and auditable. That is the difference between reactive policing and proactive prevention. It is the antivirus for infrastructure, an impenetrable layer of security that embeds into anything it touches. Including the electronics behind the NYC SIM-farm plot that nearly disrupted the UN.

Proof as Currency in the Telecom World

Imagine every SIM card carrying an invisible SMX signature that ties it to a specific factory, shipment, and authorized distributor. Now imagine carriers and regulators being able to query that signature in real-time. When hundreds or thousands of cards show up off-book in a single building, the network flags them, activations are blocked, and investigators are alerted with a digital trail, not paperwork. The attack never reaches scale.

This is not speculative. SMX has already proven the concept across plastics, textiles, and metals. The same chemistry and ledger technology that certifies recycled material can certify telecom components. Proof becomes the gatekeeper that decides whether a device can join a network, and that is a policy tool as powerful as any law. Regulators gain enforcement without endless subpoenas. Carriers gain confidence without slowing service. Citizens gain security without sacrifice.

The implication is this. The market that cares about verifiable trust in communications is enormous. Security budgets and carrier compliance dollars follow risk. When the question at industry conferences shifts from “could this happen” to “how do we stop it,” companies that deliver enforceable proof will be invited into contracts, not courtrooms.

From Sustainability Use-Case to National Security Tool

SMX was built to solve sustainability problems, but the platform is industry-agnostic. The molecular markers it embeds in materials are immutable and near impossible to spoof at scale. The digital passport attached is auditable and portable. And the Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) monetizes it. Together, they create a chain of custody and source of value that does not rely on human memory, guesswork, or fortunate leads. That is why the New York plot is not only a recycling story, it is a national security case.

Respect the investigative triumphs that stopped this attack. However, also respect that it should not take heroics for infrastructure to remain secure. SMX can provide a systematic way to prevent mass anonymous activations, without waiting for a lucky break or a marathon sting operation. Proof can be enforced at the source, and enforcement at the source is how you break the economics of mass deception.

Praise the agents who ran the long operations. But it’s also time to invest boldly in the technologies that make those long nights unnecessary. SMX offers a path from panic to prevention, from reactive heroics to routine protection. If the world wants networks it can trust, proof is not optional. It is essential.

Tidal Wave Auto Spa was founded over 20 years ago in Thomaston, GA, by husband and wife, Scott and Hope Blackstock. What started as a small-town self-service car wash business evolved into the first conveyor car wash open in Georgia and is now the fourth-largest conveyor car wash company in the nation, with 299 locations spanning 30 states. Tidal Wave is committed to providing every customer an exceptional car wash experience through industry-leading car care technology, clean and attractive locations, and outstanding customer service. Tidal Wave is committed to making a positive impact in the communities it serves, raising over $7 million for local programs, service organizations, and non-profit organizations through the company’s fundraising program and annual philanthropic Charity Day event.
