A secure cell phone maker has uncovered more than a dozen cell phone towers around the U.S. that no one seems to know who owns them and no one is sure how they get installed.
The towers were uncovered by ESD America, which built the CryptoPhone 500, a highly modified Galaxy S III secured phone with end-to-end encryption and firewall protection of its baseband chip, plus its own custom Android distribution with many vulnerabilities the ESD team found and removed.

Stingray Phone TrackerIn active mode, the StingRay will force each compatible cellular device in a given area to disconnect from its service provider cell site (i.e., operated by Verizon, AT&T, etc.) and establish a new connection with the StingRay.[12]

Interesting that the phones are around military bases. I’ll bet that more are around sensitive government installations.

Military has them. I don’t know about all interceptors though. Some phones detect them but they are high-end.

-ESD America CEO Less Goldsmith found it suspicious that a lot of these interceptors are right on top of U.S. military bases.
Unknown origin, really?

Check ‘ham radio ops in the local areas.

Interesting. Only in the conurbations. What could they be searching for, waiting for, and who owns them? Sorry to ask.

These locations are quite vague. The Fla sites are near Macdill and Avon Park as far as I can tell.
