TIL your phone apparently does no or easily spoofed authentication of the identity of the base station it decides to connect to. Anyone know more about this and how it’s possible?

      You might be more paranoid than I am, but I check every unexpected link from messages claiming to be businesses if I open them at all. Usually I’ll go to their website and check for what the message claims if it seems plausible.
