As activists gathered in protest at the DNC, WIRED's investigation unveiled that law enforcement used cell site simulators, raising serious concerns about privacy and security.
Our survey revealed the scale of surveillance at the DNC, highlighting vulnerabilities affecting not only protesters but also civilians unaware of such intrusive monitoring technologies.
The use of controversial surveillance devices like IMSI catchers calls into question the balance between security measures and the protection of civil liberties during public events.
By analyzing nearly 300,000 signals, we demonstrated that while law enforcement aims to maintain order, they simultaneously expose citizens to potential privacy infringements.
