Recent Hezbollah Pager Explosions Remind Us We're in a Cyberwar

Rob Cheng

As the Cyberwar Escalates, Let's Not Forget We're in One

Unlike a traditional war, the conflict plays out over decades and impacts every human yet escapes the grasp of a myopic society robotically staring at screens never questioning the security of those very screens.

Should a few pagers and walkie-talkies exploding on the other end of the planet give pause to our halcyon life?

Could the device you're holding in your hand explode?

Not because of a product defect.

We have lawyers for that.

Is it even remotely possible for perpetrators to pull off a horrific cyber 9/11 without ever setting foot in the country?

In cybersecurity parlance, this is a supply chain attack.

Israel did not attack Hezbollah directly.
