Initial Thoughts on Attack Using Pagers Across Lebanon

▪️Too early to draw conclusions, but the explosions do not appear consistent with typical battery fires/explosions associated with telecommunication devices or even larger power banks, and instead look like small explosives;

▪️As the US compromises computer hardware on the factory floor with security back doors, Israel may have compromised a batch of pagers either at the factory or between manufacturing and distribution, placing a small remotely detonated explosive similar in size to a cherry bomb inside – this is pure speculation at this point;

▪️The incident, regardless of the methods used, is a serious wake up call for nations and organizations about the central importance of technology and the need to be self-sufficient;

▪️ This technology should be approached in the same manner as arms and other high security items, not as consumer goods – technology and information space should both be seen as central to national security, not at its periphery;

▪️Anything with a chain of custody that could potentially put a device or system in the enemy’s hands before yours is a security threat;
