Mobile Phone Espianage

steve Ragan warns about rogue cellphone towers which intercept users' calls.   According to Ragan, "rogue interceptors are a huge risk if used by a malicious actor. That's because once a device connects to them, the interceptor's operator can perform a number of tasks, including eavesdrop on calls or text messages, or in some cases push data (spyware for example) to the device." Ragan suggests products which might help users who require a high level of security in their position.
