FIELD: wireless communication network.
SUBSTANCE: at least one subscriber device is used, which is capable of detecting PCI, and/or TAC, and/or EARFCN, the subscriber device is raised to an altitude of more than 50 metres using a tethered aerostat or a tethered airship and/or a tethered balloon, an adaptation mode is performed, namely, collecting data on all nearest base stations, including mobile country code (MCC), and/or mobile network code (MNC), and/or PCI, and/or TAC, and/or EARFCN, for at least 30 minutes and analysing the obtained data, in the event that a new mobile country code (MCC), and/or mobile network code (MNC), and/or PCI, and/or TAC, and/or EARFCN are subsequently detected or two identical PCIs with different TACs or two identical PCIs at different frequencies, then it is assumed that a virtual base station has appeared in the region.
EFFECT: high level of information security due to timely detection of attack weapons on a wireless network.
