Enjoy losing the electronics handheld market to the Chinese as everyone gets paranoid about Western smartphones.
Will you still be laughing when this hack inevitably leaks and is used to harm you or your family. I’m a computer hacker and it’s looking more and more like these were done by hacking the devices and detonating the battery.
But hey, at least you got to do a completely militarily impotent terrorism against a group fighting a genocide.
All credible reporting I’ve seen is relatively certain that it was a small amount of military grade explosives.
If you have the device in front of you, and are prepping it for your secret operation, that also seems like a much more straightforward solution than trying to manipulate a lithium ion battery in a way that both allows it to work normally for years, but then explode violently enough to kill someone holding it.
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.
Okay boomer. Computer security isn’t some underground scene anymore. It’s a huge industry. Saying your a computer hacker is like calling yourself an accountant now. So unbelievable!
Very cute but there are reports of people analyzing the pagers and not finding any evidence of explosives.
This is a developing story so maybe this will come to not but your incredulity doesn’t change these facts in the ground.
And if you were even a little familiar with lithium battery fires you’d know such reports don’t match up with the reports of exploding pagers killing people. So which is it?
We’ve had numerous cases of phones catching on fire in people’s pockets and resulting in horrible burns throughout the years, but how many of these have killed people? A lithium battery is an incendiary device under the right circumstances, not an explosive one. And you need a bigger battery than one in a pager to cause enough damage in a short enough timeframe to kill a person before they can save themselves.
Not to mention that it’s not a simple matter to make a lithium battery catch on fire remotely. What are they gonna do, try to draw more current than the battery can provide? That’s not going to make a battery catch on fire.
Indeed, supposing they could use software to cause the battery to ignite is one thing (the most plausible part) but your other points are the crux of it.

The leading theory is a supply chain attack and that explosives were planted but you would know that if you could read, mr hacker

Completely irrelevant as reality doesn’t care where your fallacious claims are sourced from.
Ahhh yes China, which is famous for its respect of human rights, will take over because consumer sentiment will shift. Very obvious.
Full mask off huh, so which is your preferred flavour of dictators boot?
My dad works at Steam

If I called myself an accountant then implied something that’s very implausible about accounting you’d be right to question it.
These weren’t hacked battery overloads they were explosives.
Wrong person 🤗.
And i agree x1000 😂😂
🤨
🤨🤨🤨🤨
Careful. I heard about this guy on the news. Apparently he’s a famous hacker, goes by the name Four Chan.
Oh shit I think we finally found Lim Fao!

I’m a boomboom builder btw
What are you on about
Maybe an Iranian LLM spreading “anti-Western” propaganda.
