Holy fuck, I thought I was having Déjà vu from reading this headline because I read a similar article about "rogue cell towers" that were popping up. Heres' the article, its from September. http://www.wired.com/2014/09/cryptophone-firewall-identifies-rogue-cell-towers/ Basically a German company developed a firewall that detected whenever a cell tower would force your phone to transmit data. Its just some crazy stuff.
