"The #Stingray is a brand name of an #IMSI catcher targeted and sold to #law enforcement. A Stingray works by #masquerading as a cell #phone tower—which your #mobile phone sends signals to every 7 to 15 seconds whether you are on a call or not— and #tricks your phone into connecting to it. As a result, the #government can figure out who, when and where you are calling, the precise #location of every #device within the range, and with some devices, even #capture the #content of your #conversations "
