Pagers Turned Into Weapons of War
In a modern act of sabotage, thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies exploded simultaneously across Lebanon. These everyday communication devices were secretly rigged with explosives, turning essential gear into remote-controlled weapons.
This unprecedented security breach bypassed digital hacking to target the hardware itself. By infiltrating the supply chain, the attackers ensured the devices arrived pre-modified for detonation. It serves as a haunting reminder of how vulnerable our reliance on global supply chains can be. The scale of the event caused massive confusion and widespread injury, fundamentally changing how organizations view the security of their communication tools.
