FBI says search warrants not needed to use “stingrays” in public placesFeds' position on decoy cell-site towers continues anti-privacy theme.by David Kravets - Jan 5 2015, 2:25pm EST The Federal Bureau of Investigation is taking the position that court warrants are not required when deploying cell-site simulators in public places. Nicknamed "stingrays," the devices are decoy cell towers that capture locations and identities of mobile phone users and can intercept calls and texts. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/01/fbi-says-search-warrants-not-needed-to-use-stringrays-in-public-places/

Fake cell towers, IMSI grabbers, and how to secure communications through an unsecure medium AmMerc, 05 January 2015 A few months back, the "fake cell tower" story hit the tech news, and I wanted to blog about it then, but I didn't have my thoughts in order. I think my readers understand how unsecure cell phones are, so they don't need me to remind them that anything they say is probably being recorded, filtered, and analysed by people they would rather not be doing those things. I put it on the back burner to simmer for a while, and I think I've got my thoughts in enough order to describe things in a way that people not familiar with communications technology can appreciate. For back story, unregistered cell towers have been found outside military bases, major metropolitan areas, and no one knows who they belong to: randomthoughtsandguns.blogspot.com/2015/01/fake-cell-towers-imsi-grabbers-and-how.html
