I used burners at DEFCON 2016. Eventually moved back to my actual phones. But, I talked with other people and according to them there were cell sites that were suspect. Never found out if it was true or not. But, as others have stated I turned off my WiFi.

Before DEF CON there are about 20 cell towers in the area, during DEF CON there were almost 130 (rumour I heard, while gooning in the contest area)...

Pretty sure some of those are FBI and other agencies ;-)

I was at this past DEFCON, we had cell sites named "Arnold's Biggest Scam" and "AT&T Totally 1337 Tower". There are others, but those two were prominent because I could access them in my room lol.
