The submission title is materially incomplete. The full title is "Iran linked hacker group Handala Hack Team claim pager explosions linked to Israeli battery company" (my emphasis).

The cropping of the original title changes the meaning drastically and seems almost clickbaity

The bad title is jarring.

I am skeptical of the assertions regarding shipments of explosive batteries to the countries of origin along with the disabling of x-ray machines on a per-package basis. If they did turn out to be true, I sure would want to see the source code.

I mean theyre promising everything "within hours" so id say 12 hours from now we'll know they're lying, but additionally:

* a lot of what they're posting about the batteries and manufacturing (not coming in hours) was published by the new york times, coming directly from Israeli intelligence officers this morning. So no news to break there

* What does 8200 affiliated even mean. everyone goes to the army, if that means they have ex-8200 soldiers, 8200 is a big unit with thousands of soldiers and some dozens of the geniuses that can find 0-click 0-days in iphones. Practically every company that has an israeli office is "8200 affiliated" in that way

* The idea the mossad has some pen they click right before going through the xrays, that causes the machine to not show explosives is pretty rediculous. Its much easier to just ask a friendly country to allow you to pass through. Orban and Netanyahu are EXTREMELY friendly.

Its almost like saying CIA black sites other countries are hidden from local authorities. Does anyone think Poland didn't know of the CIA blacksite post 09/11? of course they knew and helped the US create and maintain it

HN title needs to be changed, but very informative article.
