ABC News: FCC fines wireless carriers for sharing user locations without consent

The Federal Communications Commission has leveraged nearly $200 million in fines against wireless carriers AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon for illegally sharing customers' location data without their consent.

"These carriers failed to protect the information entrusted to them. Here, we are talking about some of the most sensitive data in their possession: customers’ real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement released Monday.

As the Israel-Hamas war escalated this week, WIRED looked at the conditions that contributed to Israel's intelligence failures ahead of Hamas' initial attack last Saturday, as well as the hacktivism and digital mayhem that has subsequently sprung up around the kinetic war. The situation has led to a torrent of misinformation across global discourse, particularly on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where fake photos, old videos, and video game footage have exploded on an unprecedented scale. 

X’s Trust and Safety team claims it has been working to address the situation, but company CEO Elon Musk has been “posting through it,” sharing conspiracies and engaging with QAnon discourse on the platform. The chaotic situation on X has been difficult for the average user to keep up with. In one case, a graphic Hamas video that Donald Trump Jr. shared on the platform actually turned out to be legitimate, even though it seemed at first look like it might have been part of the broader deluge of misinformation. And beyond just X, rumors of a “Global Day of Jihad” on Friday unleashed a dangerous wave of disinformation across digital platforms—one that threatened to cross into real-world violence.

With the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried in full swing this week, WIRED took a deep look at the day someone stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the ill-fated cryptocurrency exchange as it was declaring bankruptcy. And new evidence released by researchers this week indicates that the stolen FTX funds went through a chain of intermediaries that eventually led to Russia-linked money launderers.

As chaos in the United States House of Representatives continues over Republicans' inability to deal with far-right hardliners and elect a new speaker, WIRED reported that Republican Party leaders have imposed cell phone bans in an attempt to keep backroom dealmaking under wraps. The United Nations' top internet governance body may host its next two annual meetings in countries known for repressive digital policies and abusive information control, which risks normalizing internet censorship. And white supremacist “active clubs” are gaining traction in part through communication on the messaging app Telegram.

Meanwhile, Google announced this week that it will make the more secure password replacement known as passkeys the default login option for its personal account holders as part of the company's efforts to promote adoption of the technology. And a new internet protocol vulnerability known as “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” impacts virtually every web server around the world and will take years to stamp out, exposing some sites and digital services to denial of service attacks long-term.

And there's more. Each week we round up the security and privacy news that we didn’t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

Vietnam Used Predator Spyware to Target US Congress

Notorious high-end commercial spyware like Pegasus and Predator has been used over the past decade to target human rights activists, protesters, and journalists. But a foreign nation using it to target the smartphones of US members of Congress represents a rare and brazen new appearance of those notorious tools. On Monday The Washington Post, along with a consortium of more than a dozen international media outlets, revealed that the Vietnamese government used that Predator spyware, distributed by the surveillance firms Cytrox and Intellexa, to target at least four members of Congress—representative Michael McCaul and senators Chris Murphy, John Hoeven, and Gary Peters—as well as Asia-focused experts at US think tanks and several journalists that include CNN’s lead national security reporter, Jim Sciutto.

In the hacking campaign, those individuals were targeted in replies on X (formerly known as Twitter) that included links to websites that would have infected their iOS or Android phones with the Predator spyware. That tactic appears to have been both reckless and unsuccessful: Anyone else who saw the tweets and clicked on the link would have been infected too, and the highly public nature of that infection attempt helped researchers and reporters to analyze the scope and targeting of the campaign. The attempted espionage was timed to US government meetings with Vietnamese officials, and it appears to have been aimed at understanding US intentions in the meeting, particularly related to relations with China.

The media consortium, along with security researchers from Amnesty International and Google’s Threat Analysis Group, were able to show Vietnam’s connection to the Predator hacking campaign through documents they obtained that detail the Vietnamese government’s contract with Intellexa in 2020, and later an extension of the deal to allow the use of the Predator software. The internal documents went so far as to capture the response of Intellexa’s founder, Israeli former military hacker turned entrepreneur Tal Dilian, when the deal was announced: “Wooow!!!!” Vietnam’s government would later target French officials with Predator before this year’s campaign targeting US congressmen.

Hamas Raised Millions in Crypto Ahead of Attacks

Despite efforts by Israel and other nations to cut off funding to Hamas in recent years, the group raised millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency before the past weekend’s attack that killed more than a thousand Israelis. An analysis by The Wall Street Journal found that Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah had collectively raised hundreds of millions in crypto over the past several years, with $41 million going to Hamas specifically. Given that the Journal learned of that funding in part through Israeli seizures of crypto accounts, however, it’s not clear how much of that money was frozen or seized versus how much might have actually been successfully laundered or liquidated by Hamas and other groups. 

In response to the weekend’s attacks, the Israeli government and the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, both announced that a new round of Hamas crypto accounts had been frozen. Though crypto has helped Hamas and other groups move funds across borders, its traceability on blockchains has presented a challenge for designated terrorist groups. In 2021, for instance, Hamas asked its supporters to stop making donations via cryptocurrency, due to the ease of tracking those transactions and unmasking contributors.

Exxon Used Hacked Documents to Counter State Investigations

Last year, Reuters reporters Chris Bing and Raphael Satter published an investigation into Aviram Azari, an Israeli private investigator who is accused of using mercenary hackers to gather intelligence on the critics of major corporations involved in lawsuits against them. 

Now, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, where Azari has been convicted on criminal charges, have filed a sentencing memo that notes that activists’ communications stolen by Azari’s hackers were later used by Exxon in the company’s attempts to head off investigations and lawsuits by state attorneys general. The memo still doesn’t name Exxon as Azari’s client, but it implicitly suggests a link between the company and Azari: Prosecutors point in their memo to leaks of climate activists’ private emails to media, which were later cited by Exxon in their responses to state attorney generals as evidence of underhanded tactics by activists as they tried to prove that Exxon knew and covered up the role of fossil fuels in climate change. A Massachusetts lawsuit against Exxon that resulted from the state’s investigation is ongoing.

Magecart Cybercrime Crew Skims Cards With New 404 Trick

Internet giant Akamai warned this week that the infamous Magecart hacker crew, long focused on credit card fraud, has developed a clever new technique for spoofing credit card payment fields. The hackers managed to hide their malicious scripts in the 404 “page not found” error pages of ecommerce sites, then trigger those pages to load a spoofed payment field that impersonates a checkout page to steal credit card information. “The idea of manipulating the default 404 error page of a targeted website can offer Magecart actors various creative options for improved hiding and evasion,” warned Akamai researcher Roman Lvovsky. Akamai noted that the technique was used on the website of significant brands in the food and retail industries but declined to name them.

Micropricing

I got pinged for implying phone services were overcharging for "caller ID and Visual Voicemail" on truth social. So I'm going into one of the ways businesses take advantage of users: Micropricing.

First, Caller ID is already built into the system. It has been for at least three decades. Back then it might've cost more to send you a name attached to the number it wouldn't show you either. But that's why we had phone books and answer machines.

Now, spam-robots can call you daily for much less than it costs you to keep your phone connected to the service you're paying for. And because of the Micropricing strategy, the phone companies "can't afford to use their decades old technology in new and innovative ways that protect customers."

Visual Voicemail, on the other hand, is an app that lets you look at who left a message and other details of the sound file attached to it, without having to call you voicemail and do it by touch tone like we're in mad men. And yes, it provides a transcription of the message left. Which is simply an accessibility feature for hard of hearing that they're allowed charge extra for, because they can.

And you wonder why we would rather you just send a text message.

Anyway, Micropricing is a strategy to charge more for services that don't actually cost the company more to provide. And sometimes, for things the user will never use. And sometimes, phone insurance which ultimately costs the user more to use than a phone repair service. (And they don't even help track down lost or stolen devices, EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN. AND YOU PAY A SERVICE FOR PROTECTION.)

A lot of these services are collapsing because the Internet allows more rich data to be sent more efficiently. But here's the thing: old services are tacked onto your bill automatically. we can't*not use them* but phone companies won't update either. So we pay to get the updated old tech that isn't as good as should be standard ten years ago.

A lot of the digital features today aren't like owning a car phone in the 70s. Cell Phones have been the defacto standard for 20 years now. The only thing different is data usage. Which may or may not be restricted thanks to cell tower bandwidth. But in a college town where the bandwidth is always maxed out and everybody needs to use wifi, you're just having people pay to not use the features that worked better ten years ago.

Infrastructure should include phone and internet service. Then *private* companies can just be the fastlane they claim to want to build. But instead they're focused on charging extra for standard features.

Look. Trains caused the word to have to keep pace with a 24 hour clock schedule.

The Internet means the world needs to get off its addiction of 5-year and 10-year plans hoping for people to die before anything can be done to change anything.

Even six months is too long for deliberation. Yeah, it used to be worse, but that's the whole f*ing reason we built technology in the first place, so it wouldn't have to be.

Healthcare CEO Killer Inscribed These Words on the Bullet Casings

Leah covered this story earlier today: Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed in what looks like a professional hit job. The targeted killing occurred around 6:45 AM, outside the New York Hilton Midtown, where an investors meeting was being held. In the video footage, the killer is seen shooting Mr. Thompson with a suppressed firearm in the leg and back before finishing him off. 

There’s a new chilling clue regarding this premeditated killing: bullet casings were found at the scene, with “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” on them:

Mr. Thompson was the subject of a Justice Department investigation for insider trading (via NY Post): 

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was one of several senior executives at the company under investigation by the Department of Justice when he was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday.  Thompson — who was killed in what police called a targeted shooting outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown — exercised stock options and sold shares worth $15.1 million on Feb. 16, less than two weeks before news of the federal antitrust probe went public, according to a Crain’s New York Business report from April.  The stock price dropped sharply after the revelation that the DOJ was investigating whether the company had made acquisitions that consolidated its market position in violation of antitrust laws, a source familiar with the probe told the outlet. 

Paulette Thompson

said her late husband was the subject of death threats (via NBC New York): 

Thompson’s wife, Paulette Thompson, told NBC News that the executive told her "there were some people that had been threatening him.” She said she didn't have details, but suggested they may have involved issues with insurance coverage.  "Speaking to other employees that traveled with him to New York, it doesn't seem like he had a security detail," NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters. "He left the hotel by himself, was walking, didn't seem like he had any issues at at all."  The suspect, dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and carrying a distinct gray backpack, then fled on foot down an alleyway before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away. The shooter was at large, sparking a search that included police drones, helicopters and dogs. 

The suspect took off on a Citi Bike, which police hope to use, tracking its “digital exhaust” (via NYT): 

An electric Citi Bike like the one reportedly used as a getaway vehicle after the murder of United HealthCare C.E.O. Brian Thompson creates “digital exhaust,” streams of data that can be used to track the rider, said David Shmoys, a computer scientist at Cornell University who helped design the system.  Between the creation of a Citi Bike account, connecting it to a credit card, undocking it, riding it around the city and docking it at a new location, every user creates many “streams of digital breadcrumbs” that can help Lyft, the company that operates Citi Bike, track the user’s location, and possibly their identity, Mr. Shmoys said.  Combined with the user’s phone data and location shared with cell towers, “It is amazing how much information is conveyed,” Mr. Shmoys said.  Jordan Levine, a spokesman for Lyft, declined to describe what data the company has retrieved or shared with the New York Police Department. “We stand ready to assist law enforcement with this investigation,” Mr. Levine said in an email. Every Citi Bike user must use a credit card to create an account, and the IP address used to do so is recorded, said Brian Muller, a regular Citi Bike user who participates in a program to redistribute bikes where they’re needed around the city. The credit card could be stolen and the IP address masked to hide the person’s identity, said Mr. Muller, who works as an information technology engineer. “If the perpetrator was smart, they would have a throwaway Lyft account not associated with their personal accounts,” Mr. Muller said.  Electric Citi Bikes are limited to a speed of up to 18 miles an hour. Because they are slow compared with other kinds of electric bikes, because it takes so much time to rent a Citi Bike, and because so much data is generated every time such a bike is unlocked, Mr. Shmoys said that he was surprised that a gunman in such a high-profile crime would choose to use a Citi Bike at all. Perhaps the only advantage to using a Citi Bike was timing. The shooting occurred in Midtown Manhattan at 6:44 a.m., when commuters are typically riding thousands of Citi Bikes to office buildings in the area.  “It’s a time of day when there’s a lot of bikes in Midtown,” Mr. Shmoys said.  “Those stations are full.” 

Finding this person will take time. His face is obscured. Yet, even when shooters’ faces are caught on video, it could take hours for them to be apprehended. The Times noted Frank James’ 2022 subway shooting. Despite him being caught on camera, it took police 31 hours to arrest him.

Phone Number Tracker

Phone Number Tracker: A Modern Tool for Safety and Connectivity

Phone Number Tracker In today's digitally connected world, tracking a phone number can serve multiple purposes. From ensuring the safety of loved ones to managing work-related communications, phone number trackers have evolved to become an essential tool. Whether it's finding a lost device or identifying an unknown caller, the ability to track phone numbers brings a sense of security and peace of mind.

However, it's important to understand how these services work, their legal boundaries, and how to use them responsibly. Here's a deep dive into how phone number trackers operate, the technology behind them, and their practical applications.

What is a Phone Number Tracker?

A phone number tracker is a tool that uses GPS, cellular tower triangulation, or Wi-Fi signals to determine the exact location of a mobile device. These tools are commonly used by individuals to find lost or stolen phones, monitor the location of family members for safety reasons, or identify the source of unwanted or suspicious calls.

Some tracking tools are built into smartphones, such as Apple’s “Find My” app or Google’s “Find My Device,” while others come as standalone applications or online services. The key difference between them is how they access location data—some use internal GPS data, while others rely on mobile network information.

How Do Phone Number Trackers Work?

Phone number trackers utilize a combination of technologies:

GPS (Global Positioning System): Many apps use GPS satellites to pinpoint the location of a device. The accuracy is usually within a few meters, making it one of the most reliable methods.

Cellular Tower Triangulation: This method calculates the position of a phone based on the signal strength from nearby cell towers. It’s less accurate than GPS but still effective in providing a general location.

Wi-Fi Signals: In urban areas, trackers can use Wi-Fi networks to enhance location accuracy. This is particularly useful indoors or when GPS signals are weak.

IP Address Tracking: Some services may also use the device’s IP address to locate the general area. However, this method is less precise and more commonly used for desktop or laptop tracking.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

While phone number tracking can offer significant benefits, it is crucial to understand the legal implications. Tracking someone without their knowledge or consent can be illegal in many jurisdictions. It's always important to respect privacy laws and ensure that tracking is done with the full consent of the person being tracked, except in cases where parental control or emergency services are involved.

For businesses, employee tracking must adhere to workplace laws and policies. Employers are advised to clearly communicate tracking practices and ensure they are only used for legitimate reasons like safety or work-related activities.

Practical Applications of Phone Number Tracking

Finding Lost or Stolen Phones: With the rise of phone theft or loss, tracking apps provide an easy way to locate and possibly recover devices.

Parental Control: Parents can monitor their children’s whereabouts using phone tracking tools to ensure their safety, especially when they’re traveling alone or attending events.

Android smartphones can now be locked automatically by Google to protect personal information

There are numerous uses for the new theft detection lock coming to all devices running Android 10 or later versions.

There are numerous uses for the new theft detection lock coming to all devices running Android 10 or later versions, particularly for unlocked Android phones.

Google has significantly increased the theft resistance of your Android smartphone, especially for unlocked Android phones. Not in the physical sense, but if it is stolen, the new “theft detection lock” guarantees that the personal information is secure, ensuring that the thief cannot utilize the phone, even if it’s one of the unlocked Android phones.

The newly announced Xiaomi 14T Pro was found to include this innovative feature, which is now being rolled out to Android smartphone customers in the US, including those with unlocked Android phones. Mishaal Rahman initially reported the news on Threads. Three main theft-related feature components are being rolled out by Google: remote lock, offline device lock, and theft detection lock, all of which enhance the security of unlocked Android phones.

The new theft detection lock feature applies a machine learning model to detect a phone snatched from someone’s hand. The thief then attempts to flee on foot or in a car. Once the Android smartphone, especially an unlocked Android phone, detects theft detection lock mode, the cell locks itself automatically, depriving the robber of any private data that may have been saved on the device.

Similarly, if a thief attempts to disconnect the telephone from the net for a long length of time, yet another feature known as offline device lock will also be triggered. This feature is particularly important for all the owners of unlocked Android phones because it will serve as an added safety feature. Finally, the thieves who stole those mobile phones, including the unlocked Android devices, can use the remote locking feature provided by the Find, My Device manager in order to lock their devices remotely and, during such lockout, ensure that their users will be able to access the data in a locked device.

These beta capabilities, which Google has been testing since August, will soon be available on all compatible Android smartphones, including unlocked Android phones. On compatible Android handsets, these functions can be accessed through the Settings > Google > Google Services menu. To make use of all the most recent anti-theft security features offered by Google, make sure you are using the most recent version of the Google Play services, especially if you own unlocked Android phones.

Can You Really Find My Device Android by IMEI Number? Explained!

In the digital age, losing your Android phone can be a nightmare. Whether it’s misplaced or stolen, your first instinct is likely to search for ways to recover it. One commonly suggested method is using your device's IMEI number. But the question remains: Can you really find my device android by imei number? Let’s explore the truth behind IMEI tracking and how tools like an IMEI number tracker or an IMEI tracker can help.

What is an IMEI Number?

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, a unique 15-digit code assigned to every mobile device. This number helps identify your phone on a mobile network and can be used to block the device if it's stolen. You can usually find it by dialing *#06# on your device or checking the phone's settings, box, or under the battery (if removable).

Can You Really Find My Device Android by IMEI Number?

The short answer is: Yes, but with limitations.

While the IMEI number itself doesn’t contain location data, it can be used by network providers and law enforcement to locate or block a lost or stolen phone. However, individuals typically cannot use the IMEI number alone to find a phone without assistance from service providers or law enforcement.

That said, specialized tools like TrackIMEI.net offer solutions by working with cellular data and IMEI databases to assist in tracking. Although not guaranteed to provide real-time tracking, such services increase the chance of recovering your device.

How IMEI Number Tracker Tools Work

An IMEI number tracker or IMEI tracker operates by linking your IMEI to cell towers, GPS data (if available), and sometimes Wi-Fi signals. Here's how they generally function:

User provides the IMEI number of the lost device.

The tool checks against databases and network data.

If the phone is active or recently used, it can show its last known location.

These tools are particularly useful when integrated with mobile operators or databases that maintain information on stolen or active devices.

Best Practices When Using an IMEI Tracker

If you decide to use an IMEI tracker, consider these tips:

Act quickly: The sooner you report your lost phone, the better.

Report to your service provider: Ask them to block the device and assist in tracking.

Use trusted tools like TrackIMEI.net to ensure your data is safe and your efforts are effective.

Alternative Methods to Find Your Android Device

While IMEI-based tracking can be effective, combining it with other methods improves the likelihood of recovery:

1. Google Find My Device

Google’s own tool is often the first step. Simply go to Google Find My Device and sign in with your Google account. From here, you can:

View the phone’s last known location

Ring the device

Lock or erase it remotely

2. Use a Pre-installed Security App

Some Android brands offer security or anti-theft apps (like Samsung's Find My Mobile) that provide tracking and remote locking features.

Why IMEI Tracking Matters

When your phone is stolen, a thief may remove SIM cards or disable GPS. In such scenarios, traditional tracking tools might not work. The IMEI number becomes essential because it remains constant, even after resetting the phone or changing SIM cards. Carriers can block the device entirely using the IMEI, rendering it useless on any network.

Limitations of IMEI-Based Tracking

Not real-time: Unlike GPS tracking, IMEI tracking may not offer live updates.

Dependent on carriers: Most IMEI tracking requires cooperation with service providers.

Law enforcement assistance: In many cases, only authorities can fully access IMEI tracking data.

Final Thoughts

So, can you find my device Android by IMEI number? The answer is yes—but it’s most effective when combined with professional tools and official assistance. A reliable IMEI number tracker like TrackIMEI.net can increase your chances of recovery. Just remember, while IMEI tracker tools are helpful, using all available resources (Google services, carrier support, and police reports) will give you the best shot at retrieving your lost device.

Stay proactive, store your IMEI securely, and act fast when misfortune strikes.

do i need a vpn on cell data

Cell data security

Cell data security is a critical concern in today's digital age, with the widespread use of mobile devices for communication, work, and personal tasks. The security of data stored on cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices is of utmost importance to protect sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.

To ensure cell data security, it is crucial to implement various measures and best practices. One essential step is to set up strong passwords or biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition to prevent unauthorized access to the device. It is also important to regularly update the device's operating system and applications to patch any vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit.

Encrypting data on the device adds an extra layer of protection, making it unreadable to anyone who does not have the encryption key. Avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, as they may not be secure and could expose your data to potential threats. Utilizing a virtual private network (VPN) when connecting to the internet on a mobile device can help encrypt data traffic and protect your online activities from prying eyes.

Backing up your data regularly to a secure cloud storage service ensures that you can still access your information in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Be cautious when downloading apps or clicking on links, as they could contain malware designed to steal your personal information.

By following these best practices and staying vigilant, you can safeguard your cell data and minimize the risk of falling victim to cyberattacks or data breaches. Remember that protecting your cell data is not just about securing your device but also about safeguarding your personal and sensitive information in an increasingly interconnected world.

VPN benefits for mobile

Mobile devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, serving multiple purposes beyond just communication. With the increasing reliance on smartphones and tablets for various online activities, the need to secure our online presence has also grown. This is where Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) come in, offering a range of benefits for mobile users.

One of the key benefits of using a VPN on a mobile device is enhanced security and privacy. By encrypting your internet connection, a VPN protects your sensitive data from potential cyber threats such as hacking, phishing, and identity theft. This is especially important when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, which are notorious for their lack of security.

Moreover, VPNs allow mobile users to bypass geo-restrictions and access region-locked content. By connecting to a server in a different location, you can unblock websites, streaming services, and apps that may be restricted in your current location. This is particularly useful for travelers who want to access their favorite content while abroad.

Another advantage of using a VPN on mobile devices is the ability to maintain anonymity online. VPNs mask your IP address, making it difficult for websites and online services to track your activity and location. This can help prevent targeted ads, location tracking, and other forms of online surveillance.

In conclusion, VPNs offer a range of benefits for mobile users, including enhanced security, access to geo-restricted content, and increased anonymity online. By using a VPN on your mobile device, you can enjoy a safer and more private online experience.

Cellular network privacy

In today's digital age, cellular network privacy has become a growing concern for individuals worldwide. With the increasing reliance on smartphones and mobile devices, the need to protect personal data transmitted over cellular networks has never been more critical.

Cellular network privacy refers to the measures taken to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between devices using cellular communication. This includes phone calls, text messages, internet browsing, and other forms of data transmission over mobile networks.

One of the primary threats to cellular network privacy is eavesdropping, where cybercriminals intercept and monitor communication to steal sensitive information such as personal details, financial data, or login credentials. To mitigate this risk, encryption technologies such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) are employed to secure data transmission and protect user privacy.

Moreover, users are advised to be cautious when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, as these are often targeted by hackers seeking to exploit security vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to devices connected to the network. It is essential to use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and update device software regularly to enhance cellular network privacy.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, maintaining cellular network privacy will require a collaborative effort between users, network providers, and cybersecurity experts to implement robust security measures and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and exploitation. By staying informed and proactive about privacy risks, individuals can safeguard their data and enjoy a secure mobile experience in an increasingly interconnected world.

Importance of VPN on mobile data

In today's digital age, where our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves, safeguarding our online privacy is paramount. With the prevalence of mobile data usage for browsing, streaming, and accessing sensitive information, the importance of using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) cannot be overstated.

A VPN offers a secure and encrypted connection between your device and the internet, regardless of whether you're connected to a public Wi-Fi network or using your mobile data. This encryption ensures that your data remains private and protected from prying eyes, including hackers, government surveillance, and even your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

When using mobile data, the risks of data interception and hacking are heightened, especially when accessing sensitive information such as banking details or personal emails. By using a VPN, you create a secure tunnel through which your data travels, shielding it from potential threats and cyberattacks.

Moreover, a VPN allows you to bypass geo-restrictions and access content that may be blocked in your region. Whether you're traveling abroad or simply want to access streaming services or websites unavailable in your area, a VPN grants you the freedom to browse the internet without limitations.

Additionally, VPNs offer anonymity by masking your IP address, making it difficult for websites and online services to track your online activities. This anonymity adds an extra layer of privacy and security, ensuring that your digital footprint remains private.

In conclusion, utilizing a VPN on mobile data is essential for safeguarding your online privacy, protecting sensitive information, and accessing restricted content. By encrypting your connection and providing anonymity, VPNs empower users to navigate the digital world safely and securely, regardless of their location or network connection.

Using VPN on cellular data

Using a VPN on cellular data can provide users with enhanced security and privacy when browsing the internet on their mobile devices. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, encrypts the user's internet connection, making it more difficult for hackers or malicious third parties to intercept their data. This is especially important when using public Wi-Fi networks, as these connections are often unsecured and vulnerable to cyber attacks.

By using a VPN on cellular data, users can also access geo-restricted content that may be blocked in their region. This is particularly useful for streaming services, such as Netflix or Hulu, that have region-specific content libraries. With a VPN, users can connect to servers in different countries and bypass these restrictions, allowing them to enjoy a wider variety of content on their mobile devices.

Furthermore, a VPN can help users avoid tracking by internet service providers and advertisers. By encrypting their connection and masking their IP address, users can maintain their anonymity online and prevent targeted advertising based on their browsing habits.

While using a VPN on cellular data can provide numerous benefits, it's important to choose a reputable VPN service provider to ensure reliable performance and data protection. Users should also be mindful of potential speed reductions when using a VPN, as encryption can sometimes slow down their internet connection. Overall, incorporating a VPN into your mobile browsing routine can offer increased security, privacy, and freedom online.

Have you ever come across the same theft incident involving your phone? Do you want to track your lost cell phone after it went missing? If the answer is yes, read this article. We will explore whether we can successfully track phones with IMEI numbers.

What Is IMEI Number?

IMEI is a short name for International Mobile Equipment Identity, containing 15-digit numbers, which gives the network the ability to identify which type model of the phone. Every mobile device has an IMEI number. It is considered a security code or the one human ID card alike that no one can change or delete from the device. If you find out your cell phone is missing or stolen, using the IMEI number tracking can be very helpful. However, IMEI number itself does not contain any geolocation, it can only be tracked when the device is connected to the internet.

How to Track Phone with IMEI Number?

In this part, we will try three methods to track your phone using IMEI number platforms, and apps or report the loss to the cell phone carrier or the police. Finally, we will conclude on the success rate and security.

 IMEI Number Tracking At a Glance

Using Online IMEI Tracking Service 

Using an online IMEI tracking service is simple and easy for you to get your misplaced or stolen cell phone’s location, and it does not require you to have any other skilled knowledge or download any applications. The very important thing for the user to do is to enter a valid IMEI number, and then you can get the results. But the truth is that it is not always a success due to various reasons like phone connectivity. The search cannot react at all. It is still worth a try though. 

There are a lot of IMEI tracking service platforms. Normally users will search IMEI track on Google and find many web pages that do good tracking services. But, there are a bunch of fake web pages that contain viruses and malware. It is risky to use them if you cannot verify them. Here are some products we have tried and tested for you. 

Option 1: IMEI Tracker

IMEI tracker, this website is free to use with an intuitive interface. It can track the precise location of the cell phone and show it on the interactive map. To locate the lost phone, you just need to enter the IMEI number and choose the country. The tracking service will be initiated.

After you enter the phone number, the website will start tracking your phone. You may wait for a while to check the results.

However, the website requires verification to view the results and the steps seem to be inducing and misleading. It completely has nothing to do with IMEI tracking.

Conclusion: Be careful using this website for its possible malware or sham.

Reviews from Real Users on Trustpilot: The reviews on Trustpilot are not positive. It scores 2.5 with 5 one-start reviews.

Option 2: Track IMEI

Trackimei.net, is also a free service to use. After you enter the valid IMEI number you can click the search button to start.

But the results are always redirecting pages for users and annoying ads. It seems like users cannot get the locations. It can be seen from the options, that for some specific countries they are not available, you may need to use other IMEI tracking services.

Conclusion: After we have a trial on this online IMEI tracker, it is not recommended to use it for its process and user experience.

Option 3: iStaunch

IMEI tracker by iStaunch is a free-to-use IMEI tracking service that works well on Samsung, Redmi, RealMe, Oppo, and Vivo devices. It has the same process to use with the above two pages. Enter the IMEI number and click the TRACK button. It needs the human hCaptcha verification as well and we passed it. Unfortunately, it failed to find our testing phone and showed a red line of words: No Data Found! Please Solve the Captcha & Enter the Correct IMEI Number. We tried with a different IMEI number and it has the same result.

Currently we can barely find any real user reviews and users are advised to be careful about privacy, security, etc. when using it.

Conclusion: Using the IMEI tracker online page may have the chance to track your phone but you should not hold too much hope about it.

Using Mobile Apps

Apart from using the IMEI tracker online page, there is an alternative to use, IMEI Tracker – Find My Device App, which is free. The most significant difference from the online page is that you need to pre-download the app to use, and that seems inconvenient for some users in certain circumstances. To use it, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Download and install the app. 

Step 2. It will require some permissions for specific functions. Offer permission.

Step 3. After installing it, log in to your Google account. You need to set it up before you can use it. 

Step 4. The app will ask you to set trust phone numbers of your family or friends. The phone number is used to receive messages of your phone’s IMEI location and phone number when your phone is lost or stolen.

Step 5. After setting it up, you can go to the Security command. Turn on the buttons of Get Lost Phone, Ring Silent Phone, and Get Current Location. By enabling “Get lost Phone”,  you can track your lost phone on another device via an SMS “getlostphone”. 

However, from the user’s comments, the success rate of locating the lost phone is not very high.

Conclusion: The IMEI track app is a bit more complicated than online IMEI tracking and requires you to pre-install it. From the users’ reviews, some people succeeded. Although it does not have a high success rate in locating your lost phone, it is worth a try. If it doesn’t work, you still get other methods.

Report the loss to the cell phone carrier or the police

Report the lost phone and provide the IMEI number, the cell phone carrier can help track your lost phone’s real-time location info through their cell towers or GPS and help you block the lost phone to prevent the thief from using it. If you report to the police and claim your phone as lost, the chance of getting your lost phone back will be increased due to legal considerations, better cooperation with a service provider, and more minor challenges. The law enforcement tracking your phone is more efficient than you do it. However, there are still many limitations, like an internet-disabled phone. It seems like having a higher success rate than tracking your phone with an online service or app by yourself, but the waiting time can also be pending because the result is not guaranteed.
