    But like… A communication device seems like THE most suspicious equipment you can get. I’m shocked nobody verified, and I’m shocked that they had the audacity to even attempt.

    Wrt giving/selling the pagers, well, I’ll have to read more to find out if that happened. It wouldn’t surprise me but also I imagine it’d be hard to find out.

      They might have been checked at some stage, but if you have enough intel, you can figure out at which stage to insert the vulnerability. But i have seen lots of fun ideas on how this could be done. The fact that its apparently alkaline batteries, makes it interesting tho. Unless it was fake batteries with something inside them.

      You could also try to make it so that the people who check the devices, only get to see good ones.

        That’s a good point.

        And from everything we see it really seems like the IDF really doesn’t gaf about collateral damage either, so they probably didn’t care that they’d give any of these away to other people.
