Fake Cell phone base stations, or ISMI catchers, which allow a third party to listen to phone conversations and monitor other phone activity, were found in Oslo around the Norwegian parliament building, the Prime Minister's home, among other places. At this point it is not known, or at least revealed, who planted them. Criminals? Members of the government spying on other members? More Five-Eyes shenanigans?

    I don't know if the translation is not great, or if it's the Norwegian press standards that are very different from what I'm used to, but skimming on the form of the article, it's an interesting read, reasonable on the details.

    The fact itself stinks of public-opinion-shaping tactics, I'd immagine govt's find and remove this shit regularly all over the world. The whole story of "hey look I'm a journalist and I found rouge antennas" sounds kinda staged, but, well, plausible, so credit for them.

    Let's look what will it unwind. Nothing good for the people, probably.
