Devon Ackerman详细介绍了针对黑兹bollah的Grim Beeper行动，指出以色列摩萨德利用了黑兹bollah组织使用老式寻呼机技术的漏洞，在设备中植入爆炸物，成功实施了大规模攻击。他还分析了该行动对黑兹bollah组织的心理冲击，并将其与网络入侵对企业造成的冲击进行了类比，指出受害者会在自认为安全的地方受到攻击，从而丧失安全感。此外，他还强调了组织在遭受攻击后应吸取教训，改进安全措施，并建议组织优先考虑终端检测和响应技术、事件响应计划和桌面演习，以及良好的访问控制，以降低供应链攻击的风险。

On 17 and 18 of September 2024, thousands of pagers and hand held radio devices used by Hezbollah, exploded simultaneously across Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 42 terrorists and wounding more than 3,000. 

Devon Ackerman, Cybereason’s Global Head of Digital Forensic and Incident response and a former Special Agent at the FBI's Operational Technology Division, discusses the lessons organizations can learn from this ultra-sophisticated supply chain attack. How such traumatic events impact the mindset of hacked organizations, what kind of threat actors are capable of pulling off long-term attacks like these, and the three most important steps organizations can take to minimize the chance of a supply chain attack.
