UK armed forces urged to revise smart devices in the wake of Hezbollah pager incident

The United Kingdom’s armed forces are being urged to rethink the use of smart devices in the wake of the Hezbollah pager incident that rocked the Middle East. This revisal of security concerns comes in the wake of the electronic pager attacks that resulted in 2,800 people being injured and a dozen killed as explosions rippled through Lebanon and parts of Syria. Major General (Retired) Chip Chapman, a former head of the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) Counter Terrorist Unit, spoke to military media outlet Forces News about the threats that electronic devices could pose in the age of technological warfare. He has urged caution in an era of cyberattacks and elaborate methods that hackers can deploy, like our coverage of the network and banking collapse in Ukraine.
