Hezbollah Pager Explosions: Are Your Gadgets Safe?

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: In a first-of-its-kind incident, hundreds of pagers used by Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah exploded on September 18. Following the attack, concerns were raised about whether similar incidents could occur with other devices, such as smartphones, laptops, or any other gadget, given that lithium-ion batteries are also part of these devices. A pager, also known as a beeper, is a simple communication device that receives short messages via radio frequencies. Popular before the widespread use of mobile phones, pagers were used for one-way communication, typically for alerts, notifications, or short messages.
