Cell Site Simulators (CSSs) and IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) Catchers are significantly more widespread than most of the general public, policy makers, researchers, and activists are aware. Their danger to privacy in the US is more significant than the vast majority most realize. United States Law Enforcement (LE) routinely use some version of CSSs or IMSI catchers in widespread areas and almost none of their usage requires warrants based on legal challenges thus far. This talk is to raise awareness of this controversial technology, privacy implications and the ongoing situation with LE that rarely makes it into US news reports and has thus far received no push back from elected officials. You should care. We all should care.
