Last fetched

FalcoNet is a threat actor tracked in WhisperGraph's MITRE ATT&CK corpus, observed using 0 techniques.

Description

FalcoNet is a surveillance technology developed by the Israeli firm Cognyte, designed as a cell tower simulator capable of intercepting and collecting data from mobile phones. It functions as an airborne system, deployable on manned aircraft like helicopters or fixed-wing planes, and is used to gather unique identifiers from phones, intercept unencrypted communications, and jam normal signals to force devices to connect to its artificial station. The State of Florida purchased this technology for $793,000 as part of Operation Vigilant Sentry, aimed at surveilling migrants, particularly from Haiti.
