Every phone in Israel got a special message when missiles from Iran were fired. No application, no nothing, just by the virtue of being connected to to an Israeli phone cell tower (it worked even on imported phones) My understanding that it is a standard feature, this is how earthquake warning works in Japan. Point being there is no "hacking" involved. Standard feature
Sounds like boomer-speak for they sent one of those full-screen SMS messages (aka 'flash SMS') with a link to a livestream. You guys read too much Tom Clancy. If spammers can do it and send me links to phishing sites so can one of the most technologically-proficient governments. You really think they would waste multiple 0-days on some bullshit like this?
> too much Tom Clancy. Isn't this is the nation that planted explosives into pagers? I think they're the ones reading too much Clancy. > so can one of the most technologically-proficient governments. How would you feel if China did this to your nation? Would you marvel at their proficiency or perhaps focus on the complete lack of diplomacy it displays?
How would you feel? Insulted?
"Those who do not will be hunted" just feels gross. There's something sinister there

With all that being said, I'd consider that a gross misuse of emergency functionality.

Is genocide now basically hate crime in American English? Was Osama bin Laden bent on genocide? Does the Westborough Baptist Church have genocidal aims against the gay community?
I feel kind of weird that Netanyahu was allowed to give a speech from the UN HQ. It’s rather like allowing Putin to do so.
Putin has treaty rights to attend the General Assembly, same as Netanyahu. Neither are under legal threat in the U.S. as we never signed the Rome Statute that established the ICC.
How come the more I hear about what Israel or Israeli companies can do with our devices makes me just not want to use a device at all? Maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight? Why are they so bold with their abilities while other countries are not? Are they just that much better, or are other nation states just better at keeping quiet?
