The head of the electronic warfare troops (EW) of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Yuri Lastochkin, in an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda warned that at present, the special services of NATO member countries have begun to actively connect to cellular subscribers, listening to conversations and blocking them. In addition, they are engaged in sending fake messages, thereby misinforming the population.
“Already today, special services of NATO countries are actively using false base stations to force the connection of cellular subscribers. At the same time, foreign intelligence specialists get the opportunity not only to listen to cell phones and view text messages, but also selectively block subscribers and misinform them by sending false messages”, Lastochkin said.
