Cyber physical threat might get a new angle from today , after the pager blast and in my terms I call it Cyber-Physical Warfare
Immediate thing went to my mind after getting info about pager blast was: some years ago I had watched a movie where everyone uses a sim where the company offers free internet free free calls etc.. and later after some time.. people starts revolting about some govt issue or something similar and this sim company owner using satellites and some kind of frequency used SIM and RF signal as weapon and made mobile generate some frequency so people go mad.. or… mobile blast or something like this..
Then I remembered about Elon Musk, Mukesh Ambani, Rothschild, Dark web intelligence about Pegasus, Israeli intelligence agency and much more… with bombarding logic of what if our mobile phones blast? a targeted blast based on sentiments of people? or people who speak against govt ? what if mobile actually produce frequency that interferes with brain and causes impairments etc??.. all of sudden i sound like a conspiracy theorist…??
Lets get into details?
The pager blast incident in Lebanon, allegedly orchestrated by Israeli intelligence, highlights the potential for cyber-physical attacks on everyday devices. Here’s how such attacks could work on mobile phones or similar devices, from a technical and cybersecurity perspective:
Technical Breakdown
- Supply Chain Compromise: Devices can be tampered with during manufacturing or transit. For mobile phones, this could involve
- Hardware backdoors: Hidden components like chips or explosives could be inserted.(we all know China is already behind such things)
- Battery vulnerabilities: Exploiting the phone’s power systems to trigger overheating or explosions remotely(if you even now download a driver updater software for laptops, I bet that all of our battery drivers are out of date, if it was not patched by MS updates)
Remote Activation
-
- Radio-frequency signals: Tampered phones could be triggered by RF signals or specific codes, much like pagers.
- Malware: Phones could be infected with malware that manipulates their battery or processor to cause overheating or even physical destruction.
- Over-the-air attacks: Vulnerabilities in communication protocols (e.g., SMS or Wi-Fi) could be used to send a command to compromised devices, triggering the attack.(Simple Flipper zero can do this!!)
- Cyber-Physical Warfare: The convergence of cyberattacks with physical consequences (as seen in Stuxnet) points to a new era of warfare where any digital device could be turned into a weapon.
Cybersecurity Conspiracy:
- Device Exploits: You might have all heard the phones blasting due to battery issue, in India I have seen many MI devices that were blasted and caused life changing harm to people, some lost ears, some list thigs , legs etc due to blast.
- Its known fact that what all the technologies that we see today was already in use my military at least from 10 years.
- So what if those mobile blasts were some kind of mis triggers of similar exploits? what if this is being hidden by govt, media or intelligence groups?
The pager blasts indicate how vulnerable personal devices are to cyber-physical attacks, emphasising the need for relooking what we buy? from who we buy? and finally Do we need it?
