These are SIM bank and servers that are used mainly by marketing firms and the like to send SMS spam. What I guess (HUGE emphasis on guess) happened here is that one of the clients of this particular "company" used their services to send threatening messages to members of congress, hence the involvement of the SS. They would still need to find out which client sent the messages, of course.

Meanwhile, I had an iPhone and an iPad fail on me. The iPhone in particular failed after a year of ownership, the very same month it came out of warranty. Almost the same history with my wife's iPhone. Switched to Android and the only reason I change them is when I feel I need more performance/storage/better camera, which usually happens every 3 to 4 years.

Font matters, believe it or not. It can change the difficulty of reading a document even without changing the content. For example, try reading a document in Calibri, then change the font to Comic Sans, see if you can still stand to read for more than a few minutes. Sure, you can still make out the words, but it takes more effort. And when taking into account HOW the document is intended to be read (printed vs screen, computer vs cellphone, etc) font choice is even more important. Of course, that's a job for font nerds, but the choice isn't as unimportant as people make it out to be.

i mean, it's barely acceptable for a war game in 2022. anyone mistaking that for real is either clueless or a troll feeding on clueless chaps.

Likely the second. And it's not even the first time this happens, as it was used to fake fighters being shot down during one of the latest India-Pakistan slap fights.

imo this is just a publicity stunt, arma actually looks a bit outdated.

It came out in 2013, so... yeah. Mainly being kept alive by mods while Bohemia keeps working on the next one.
