The infiltration and explosion of pagers in Beirut.
Knowledgeable sources have proposed four different scenarios about the consecutive explosion of pager devices in Beirut, which is said to have been carried out by the Zionist regime.
Frequency interference and interference: Pagers use radio communication to receive messages. Attackers can target these devices by disrupting the frequencies used by pagers. This is done by using jamming equipment or sending malicious signals to disrupt the operation of the device.
Hacking and data manipulation: By analyzing the communication protocols used by pagers, attackers may be able to infiltrate the system and send malicious messages or code that can disrupt or even destroy the device. This type of attack usually requires high technical knowledge and can include the use of software weaknesses in devices.
Cyber-Physical Attacks: In rare cases, attackers can manipulate pager devices to cause a physical reaction such as an explosion when they receive a certain message. This type of attack is very complex and dangerous and requires prior physical access to the device or sending tampered devices to the target.
Use of malware: Attackers may be able to place malware on the pager that automatically performs malicious operations. This malware can be transmitted via wireless communications, especially on newer models that have software updates.
