I don't know about Verizon, but all the cellphone carriers I know have carrier-grade NAT set up. That would mean the public IP they have would correspond with many customers with different private IPs. The article says Verizon matched the IP address with a particular AirCard, but maybe that was an oversimplification in the article.
- reaperducer 8y agoMy guess is that Verizon matched the IMEI of the AirCard used on a particular IP address at a particular moment in time. Then the feds only had to scan for that IMEI within the geographic area provided by Verizon.
