  • Yup, and it seems like more and more that it wasn’t explosives, but regular pagers tampered with to explode using parts they already contain as to not arouse suspicion.

    It will be interesting to see how this impacts the reputation of Western electronics. There’s already unverified reports of Middle East markets abandoning western built phones end masse for Chinese ones.

    Also wait until this technique gets into other malicious actors hands and we start seeing this attack happen everywhere. I don’t think Westerners understand what a Pandora’s box they’ve opened.







  • Reports of batteries in the past exploding were unintentional. So if one were purposely causing the batteries to explode then it’s logical that you could make it a lot more potent.

    The idea that it was a hack is more prevalent outside the west. No doubt because western intelligence is trying to stop the story of any electronic made by them being a potential bomb under their control.





  • No that’s not the leading theory outside the west. Regardless even if explosives were planted do you think that is going to make consumers feel better about buying western electronics after seeing how their intelligence agencies flagrantly break international laws. We have rules of war for a reason and you chuck fucks are about to find out why first hand when your tech sector takes a hit.
