Regardless of your political views, using exploits to harm humans is utterly irresponsible and dangerous. Today’s events, where nearly 3,000 people were harmed by exploits causing lithium batteries to explode, highlight a disturbing reality and set a dangerous precedent that threatens everyone’s safety.

In cybersecurity, our mission is to protect critical infrastructure from a relentless barrage of exploits. We focus on defending utilities, transportation systems, and other essential components of society. These threats are constant and evolving. Misusing technology to directly harm individuals not only endangers lives but also risks disrupting democratic processes, such as elections.

Consider the implications if similar tactics were used to target voters, politicians, or critical services. An exploit like this could halt transportation systems or exert control over society at large. The potential consequences are chilling. Allowing such actions to go unchecked, without accountability, opens the door to even more severe abuses—possibly controlled by AI or authoritarian regimes.

Pagers!? Besides ER doctors, who still uses a pager?

If a hacker can make a pager explode when he wants it to.

He could do that with any device connected to the internet that has a battery.

Not that easy. Reports are that these pagers were physically modified by the Mossad and sold in bulk to the terrorists, then set off electronically.
