Apparently, you can’t talk about IMSI catchers or Stingrays or cell site simulators (or various agencies’ use of them) on Reddit. Who knew.
When my devices suddenly began acting strangely, I went to my MBP console and found the phrase “Stingray Identification” logged in awdd.
Then, I found the phrase “Police Access” in my iPad Analytics Data, also in awdd I believe.
In ten years of periodically checking Console and Analytics, I’ve never once seen these phrases come up.
I also learned from my cell provider my phone was no longer on their or any other commercial cellular tower and instead was linked to a Federal tower. No joke.
Can anyone tell me if I should take these entries literally? Or tell me where I can actually ask these questions of people who might have the answers?
And yes, I’ve already tried the police themselves, because this has been accompanied by disturbing LE encounters IRL, some with my children present … and because, most importantly, I’m not a drug/crime lord, am not politically or socially active, have no record, pay my taxes, don’t do social media and rarely leave home. I simply asked to speak with a detective or officer and they refused outright. Things got much worse for me after that.
