Pagers and handheld radios explode in Lebanon; here's all about Israel's cyber warfare unit 8200
unit 8200, that is specialized in cyber warfare operations. It boasts of some of the world's best hackers and intel operatives who carry out some of the most dangerous cyber operations in the world, including tapping into communications of secure servers of enemy countries. However, this time they have come up with a rather 'innovative' idea.
What exactly happened against Hezbollah leaders and members?
Hezbollah leaders and members who carry pagers and walkie talkies, ended up injured or dead, when their devices blasted in unison, something that has never been seen before. Some suspect that the operation took place by breaching into the pager' and walkie's communication frequencies, and using it to breach into the device' battery component and overheating it, causing them to blast apart.
Meanwhile, another theory has been doing the rounds that the Israeli intelligence services laced these pagers and walkie talkies with explosive materials before their distribution to Hezbollah members, causing them to blast at a specific timeframe. The detonation could have been triggered through the communication channels, during that specific time.
What is Unit 8200 all about?
Among multiple covert units of Mossad, military intelligence and defense forces, Unit 8200 is a unique one and boasts of some of the best cyber experts in the world, who are rumored to easily crack through the safest of networks and communication channels, and have been a constant headache for rival nations, especially in the Middle East.
