Stingrays generally use 2G, as the security on earlier standards was pretty lax/broken. I thought that tower spoofing wasn’t possible on 4G/5G?

4G had a lot of the same issues as 3G, but 5G was a complete redesign (including security). It was supposed to have been way harder to break than previous generations.

Always assume that even if not publicly available, some agency has knowledge of how to spy on you.
