[Security Discussion] swampii:
Mass surveillance are documented whit our cell phones.

Thousands of volunteers have with their mobile phone uploaded their results to different cell tower (base station) databases.

The hack that is picked up whit our mobilphones is,

"man in the middel attack, umts"

The explanation is that GSM base stations is pretending to be an official GSM station and emits a Cell ID.

In the EU it is a human right to have telecommunications secrecy, it means that your phone calls must be encrypted.

(it is very likely also human rights in many other countries)

You will need to compar whit official database for your area.

voluntarily collect databases.:

Opencellid.org

cellmapper.net

wigle.net (blue dots)

opensignal.com

http://www.cellumap.com/

Mozilla location services.

there are many other databases.

Official cell tower database.:

Denmark.: Mastedatabasen.dk

Norway.: finnsenderen.no

Schweiz.: Funksender.ch

Great Britain.: http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search

France.: http://www.cartoradio.fr/cartoradio/web/

Belgium.: http://zendmasten.be/

Pleas.

Provide permalinks is there are things you don't understand, and the official database for your area and I will have a look.

Or ask a questions.

eksampel when comparing databases.:

how to compare, openopencellid.org and the official database for thr area you want to check, you will see it straight away, there is a huge difference.

or for the USA opencellid.org, wiggle.net, opensignal.com, etc.. in conjunction whit http://www.antennasearch.com/
