Shownotes Transcript

Hey Strangers,

#workfromhome #ubisoft #job How did the pagers explode? As Lebanon reels from the attack, speculation has mounted on how low-tech wireless communication devices could have been exploited.

Citing American and other officials briefed on the operation, the New York Times reported Tuesday that Israel hid explosives inside a batch of pagers ordered from Taiwanese manufacturer Gold Apollo and destined for Hezbollah. A switch was embedded to detonate them remotely, it added.

Multiple photos from Lebanon on social media appear to show damaged Gold Apollo pagers.

CNN cannot geolocate the images from social media but has verified they were published on Tuesday, the same day as the explosions. At least one pager shown in the images was a Gold Apollo AR924 model.

Gold Apollo founder Hsu Ching-kuang said its European distributor, a Hungary-based company called BAC Consulting, established a relationship with the Taiwanese firm about three years ago.
