Was someone spying on cell traffic at the political event?
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has come to the conclusion that someone likely deployed a mobile phone surveillance system during the Democratic National Convention last summer, according to afrom Wired. Evidence for that assertion comes from Cooper Quintin, a senior technologist at EFF, who has spent time investigating whether police technologies were deployed during the event from the event. Wired worked together with the EFF to conduct an analysis of wireless signal data.
WIRED attended protests across the city, events at the United Center , and social gatherings with lobbyists, political figures, and influencers. We spent time walking the perimeter along march routes and through planned protest sites before, during, and after these events. After analyzing the data from those devices, Quinton told Wired that it appeared to show that someone may have been deploying a cell-site simulator in the area at the time of the convention. Wired writes that one of the devices the reporters were carrying “abruptly switched to a new tower.” That tower then “asked for the device’s IMSI and then immediately disconnected—a sequence consistent with the operation of a cell-site simulator.
