Vineet Kumar, Founder and Global President of the Cyberpeace Foundation, addresses pressing concerns about cybersecurity in a recent discussion. He confirms that smartphones are indeed vulnerable to similar attacks as those seen with pagers. Hackers can exploit software vulnerabilities or physically tamper with devices during manufacturing or distribution, embedding malicious components that compromise security. This growing threat extends beyond smartphones to include wearables like smartwatches and earbuds, as well as critical medical devices such as pacemakers. The recent incident involving exploding pagers highlights how even seemingly outdated technology can be targeted. Kumar emphasizes that such attacks expose vulnerabilities in the global supply chain, making it crucial for manufacturers to implement rigorous checks and balances to prevent tampering. The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices underscores the need for heightened security measures, as these connected technologies, including medical devices and autonomous vehicles, are increasingly at risk of cyberattacks.

So to be clear, the physical tampering would HAVE to happen somewhere in the manufacturing supply chain in order to launch remote C2 instructions?

Мy phone is heavier than stated in the instructions, it may also contain an explosive device?
