Movable antenna (MA) is an emerging technology which can reconfigure wireless channels via adaptive antenna position adjustments at transceivers, thereby bringing additional spatial degrees of freedom for improving system performance. In this paper, from a security perspective, we exploit the MAenabled legitimate jammer (MAJ) to subvert suspicious multiuser downlink communications consisting of one suspicious transmitter (ST) and multiple suspicious receivers (SRs). Specifically, our objective is to minimize the benefit (the sum rate of all SRs or the minimum rate among all SRs) of such suspicious communications, by jointly optimizing antenna positions and the jamming beamforming at the MAJ. However, the key challenge lies in that given the MAJ's actions, the ST can reactively adjust its power allocations to instead maximize its benefit for mitigating the unfavorable interference. Such flexible behavior of the ST confuses the optimization design of the MAJ to a certain extent. Facing this difficulty, corresponding to the above two different benefits: i) we respectively determine the optimal behavior of the ST given the MAJ's actions; ii) armed with these, we arrive at two simplified problems and then develop effective alternating optimization based algorithms to iteratively solve them. In addition to these, we also focus on the special case of two SRs, and reveal insightful conclusions about the deployment rule of antenna positions at the MAJ. Furthermore, we analyze the ideal antenna deployment scheme at the MAJ for achieving the globally performance lower bound. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed schemes compared to conventional fixed-position antenna (FPA) and other competitive benchmarks.
