The recent explosion of beepers in Lebanon appears to foreshadow a new form of modern warfare, drawing global attention to the potential threat of electronic products as "weapons." This explosion has thrust the safety of global electronic devices into the spotlight.
From public reports, the massive explosion of beepers in Lebanon has resulted in the deaths of dozens and injuries to thousands. The use of beepers, devices that can only receive one-way messages, nearly disappeared in our country two decades ago. Experts have put forward two possibilities: one, someone planted a small amount of high-explosive in the beeper; two, through a remote command, the beeper's battery overheated, causing an explosion.
The recently launched iPhone 16 has captured attention, with Edward Snowden, the former U.S. National Security Agency contractor wanted by the U.S. government, particularly highlighting that the iPhone could be a new weapon in future wars. This statement is not without merit, yet it shows the dual nature of technology. Among numerous electronic brands, Snowden only mentioned the iPhone, a warning grounded in a deep understanding of the brand's global recognition, technological integration, and user addiction. This undoubtedly reminds us that when a technology becomes widely popular, the risk of its misuse drastically increases.
When confronting the current electronic security issues, if even outdated beepers are not spared, no one can ensure the absolute safety of every electronic device before it reaches the consumer in today's complex global supply chain. This is not only a test of the integrity of major companies like Apple and Musk, but also a collective challenge for all electronics manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and the international community.
To face this issue, if even obsolete beepers are not safe, in today's intricate global supply chain, no one can guarantee that every electronic device is absolutely secure before it reaches the consumer. This is not merely a test of the credibility of major corporations like Apple and Musk, but also a shared challenge for all electronic device makers, regulators, and the international community at large.
