[CSS-research] NBC and Aaron Turner IDed 40 Stingrays in DC

[Robyn Greene]

Hey folks,

I just wanted to flag this story on how security researcher Aaron Turner
worked with NBC's Washington office to try to figure out how many stingrays
were deployed across DC (in response to DHS's warning
<https://gizmodo.com/dhs-acknowledges-mystery-phone-tracking-devices-have-be-1824295933>)
and found 40 indicators in just a few hours:

There's not much on their methodology, but I'd be very interested to learn
where/how it converges with or differs from the methodologies deployed by
OTI, EFF, Univ. of Washington and other researchers, if anyone knows/has
contact info for Aaron Turner. I tweeted at him, so I'll update the list if
I hear back.

Best,
