Here is what Hezbolla did. They bought special beepers and gave them to everyone. Each beeper by design had a self destruct mechanism in them in case Israel ever got one. There was a code to set off the self destruct mechanism. Either by accident or Israel, the code was given. I would bet that the code was accidentally embedded into a normal message. And it accidentally set off all the self destructs.
This is not a hack by itself. The explosive material had to be put in by the makers ahead of time. The only thing Israel could have done is to set off a device that already had a self destruct material in it. They can’t hack the bomb into existence. The battery even if super heated would not explode like that. It would get hot or burn. But that explosion was a real plastic bomb.
So this could be an oopsie by Hezbollah? I guess terrrorism and stupidity are best buds.
If the code was compromised, all someone had to do was enter the code in one giant group *text*.
Could not happen to a more deserving group!
Where did you see that information?
It makes me wonder if Israel had control of the supply chain or had an inside information on the detonation code. Possibly if they acquired some units they might have reverse-engineered the mechanism.
The fact that nobody is screaming at Israel for this speaks volumes
Was this a planned attack on Israel that backfired?
