During the Democratic National Convention, a WIRED investigation searched for cell site simulators, potentially used against protesters. No simulators were found, but massive data collection occurred, with signals from nearly 300,000 devices gathered, exposing vulnerabilities. Devices associated with law enforcement and consumer electronics painted a picture of location patterns and posed privacy concerns. The findings underscore the tracking risks inherent in a highly networked society, affecting both law enforcement and civilians during sensitive events.
