Stingrays generally use 2G, as the security on earlier standards was pretty lax/broken. I thought that tower spoofing wasn't possible on 4G/5G?

Always assume that even if not publicly available, some agency has knowledge of how to spy on you.

4G had a lot of the same issues as 3G, but 5G was a complete redesign (including security). It was supposed to have been way harder to break than previous generations.
