this is shit straight out of a movie ,sorry dont have sauce just heard it on fox news
"Malware" my ass, more likely an Israeli operation. It would be interesting to know how and from whom these devices were sourced. However it was done, it was very cleverly implemented.
I’m guessing Mossad got into the supply chain somehow and added a chip w something like a stabilized PETN and a circuit board that would detonate the battery upon a certain text string. Hezbollah operates their own PTSN network in Lebanon that ISR somehow penetrated. I don’t believe the deflagration from a lithium battery that size is enough to create the injuries seen across multiple stories. Note: 1 story said they had received a shipment of new pagers recently.
Pagers typically use one removable AA or AAA battery with a 2 to 3 months battery life.
These were certainly intercepted and some type of explosive like c4 added along with special circuitry to maintain the regular pager functionality until a certain a signal/code was sent.
Accurate.
Good info.
Incredible security breach.
Crazy.
Know these guys will not trust their electronics. Imagine them giving you another pager?
"Trust me, Achmed, this one won't blow up!" Bwahahaaa...
Insert the Achmed Terrorist bit from Jeff Dunham 🤣
u/#bahaha
Giving that them felt the devices heat up, they might have figured out how to do this without explosives.
Lithium batteries as bomb material?
So possibly this could be done by just screwing with the regular stuff in a pager and overheating the battery?
Sorry but no, these pagers would have used either one AA or AAA battery.
These pagers were likely intercepted and modified beforehand with explosives added inside and a special triggering mechanism to maintain regular functionality until a certain signal was sent to trigger them all simultaneously.
I think they were certainly intercepted and modified.
Definitely agree on that
it would just give you some serious localized 3rd and 4th degree burns but most likely won't kill you...... but the real question... people still use pagers?!
