During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, WIRED investigated the use of cell site simulators (CSS) but found no evidence of their deployment. The team collected data signals from numerous devices, potentially exposing vulnerabilities for activists and police. Devices such as police drones and body cameras were tracked between different protest sites, revealing movement patterns. While the investigation points to the risks of being tracked by emitted signals from various devices, there were no direct consequences on WIRED's operations.
