I'd tried to force the phone to LTE only, but I'm not sure whether it worked.
- mercwear 9y agoYep. There were several fake towers setup that would allow man in the middle attacks for phones / networks that were insecure.
- soft_serve 9y agoExactly. I don't think the guy who said "nobody uses a burner phone" has ever been to DEFCON. And given that phones cost $10.00 why not? If people are on iPhones, they're on their old one.
