This raises alarm bells when you think back to Netanyahu recently telling the world, "If you own a Cell Phone, you have a piece of Israel with you."
Israel has been secretly sabotaging and inserting spy-tech into equipment for a long time, as an insurance policy against all nations, including their allies, like the United States.
Israel once intercepted a shipment of Pagers and Walkie-Talkies headed to Hezbollah members from China. They hid explosives inside of them, then allowed the shipment to proceed as normal. For nearly a year, Hezbollah used this equipment being none-the-wiser that they were actually bombs. On September 17, 2024, Israel triggered these devices, killing several high-profile members of Hezbollah and a few innocent people who received the equipment second-hand.
All nations should take note that Israel has done this.
While China gets blamed most often, Israel is probably the biggest culprit in industrial espionage. Stealing technology from nations all over the world, with America being the #1 victim. Knowing that they also are modifying equipment to fail or become dangerous at the push of a button, this revelation should be highly concerning for everyone.
While explosives can be checked for, there are other methods that are harder to find that Israel has used before, such as computer viruses/programs that will overclock CPUs & GPUs while simultaneously shutting off fans so that the computer cooks itself in minutes. This has been used against Iran's computer network for their nuclear program. Other methods could include shorting lithium batteries in cell phones, causing them to catch fire or explode, no explosives needed. There are several ways to sabotage tech through hardware and software manipulation that are nearly impossible to detect.
