There's an insane number of IMSI catchers in Taipei. I get GrapheneOS pings almost daily.

Anyone know what this is about? News mentions SIM card fraud.

This is "news" but it strikes me weird.

TL;dr: sometimes super expensive #Stingray gear shows up on eBay. My question: who's the audience for this? $50k-$100k is out of reach for hacker types, or organized crime, who can build their own for much less, and foreign adversaries or domestic cops will buy their own from normal surveillance tech companies, not eBay.
