Best to go low tech as possible with phones I guess or switch numbers frequently or don't use data at all.  
or just stay away from those towers. lol  

We need encrypted phones to be in wider use though. Providers and agencies should also utilize PGP encryption in emails as well too cuz even if client uses encrypted email services, it's useless when the recipient doesn't use it.

If someone wants wireless info they'll get it. Data is all over the air and cell phone encryption isn't that hard to crack.

The best way to tackle this problem is though education and understanding.

Are our hobby activities being monitored?
 
Anyone have any opinions good or bad with the use of black phone ?  In light of recent headlines, sexting for some, probably needs a better "cloud of amour" ? lol  
Anyone further beta using any torrent anon texting or proxy ? I have my opinions, as valueless as they may be. If there is a techie / nerdy appropriate place to post this here, by all mean let me know.  

Thanks

you're confusing different encryptions. Have you tried cracking end to end encryptions like PGP?
It's usually not easy to crack even if you have a ring of computers to run it on.  
If we use even stronger encryption on cell phones and emails, it would be "impractical" for anyone to try and crack it

Fake towers must have been built by the NSA. Licensing process for building a fake tower is not that simple. Besides, it doesn't make for the NSA. They would simple put listening dive ices on existing towers or near by structures.

Lots of coordination to put up tower. Popular mechanics should keep to mechanics and leave other stuff like electronics alone.  

Just go read the requirements to put up a mobile phone tower at FCC.

The article did say "fake" towers.

Companies involved are bound by non-disclosure agreements and so can't discuss it.  Law enforcement repeatedly uses them without obtaining a warrant; if you sue for the records then federal agents will seize them prior to disclosure and claim it's a matter of national security.

It's possible to build your own device to detect the use of an IMSI Catcher, but it's illegal since it would identify when your phone is being intercepted.  It's called an IMSI Catcher Catcher and is essentially what the writers of the Popular Mechanics article used.  No clue if their version of the device runs afoul of established laws.

Interesting to note the article never mentions the physical location of a fake tower, and that leads me to suspect they actually detected mobile units (stingrays) rather than fixed installations

Email client Mozilla Thunderbird supports use of PGP through a plugin called Enigmail.  You'll need to ensure your email provider supports PGP, many don't, but Gmail does.
