About this episode

On 17 and 18 of September 2024, thousands of pagers and hand held radio devices used by Hezbollah, exploded simultaneously across Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 42 terrorists and wounding more than 3,000. 

Devon Ackerman, Cybereason’s Global Head of Digital Forensic and Incident response and a former Special Agent at the FBI's Operational Technology Division, discusses the lessons organizations can learn from this ultra-sophisticated supply chain attack. How such traumatic events impact the mindset of hacked organizations, what kind of threat actors are capable of pulling off long-term attacks like these, and the three most important steps organizations can take to minimize the chance of a supply chain attack.
