Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has acquired the Havana Device as part of a multi-year sting operation, with funding from the Department of Defense estimated between $10 million and $50 million. Sourced from a grey market potentially in the UAE, Turkey, or Central Asia, the device poses a significant threat due to its capability as a portable, non-kinetic weapon, having reportedly been used in Venezuela on January 3 and now classified under Tier 4 Operational status.
