@CStamp @persagen whilst it's easy to attribute #Unit8200 for that, I'd say this is a too easy kind of explaination as it would be in the best interest if the #IDF to keep enemies like #Hezbollah in blissful ignorance about their #vulnerable #tech whilst maximizing #SIGINT effectiveness by not giving them a reason to implement secure #comms.

To me that sounds like a project some recruit of that unit would've to plan as a means to qualify for membership of that unit.

• It doesn't make sense to pull that #PagerHack off given it's quite newly deployed (older batteries would've more reliably and faster gone critical due to #Overdischarge!) and having pulled this #exploit also means Hezbollah will clearly fix those issues, starting with devices using #NiCd or #LiFePO4 batteries if not employing proper #E2EE instead of using insecure & #unencrypted #POCSAG...

But since I'm not getting paid for fixing that shitshow AND don't work with or for terrorists (!!!) I won't plug any projects that would've prevented this...
