During the Democratic National Convention, extensive security measures were taken due to protests against Israel's actions in Gaza. WIRED investigated the use of cell site simulators, devices that can intercept mobile phone signals by mimicking cell towers, fearing they would be used against activists. Although no evidence of such simulators was found at the DNC, the investigation highlighted vulnerabilities as many devices, including police technology, emitted signals that could be tracked. This presents risks for both law enforcement and protesters in politically charged environments.
