The Trojan horse was famously a gift.

Hezbollah paid good money for those devices.

This isn’t some technological triumph. This is terrifying. This is the military-industrial complex testing its capabilities. I know these batteries were specifically made for this, but what’s to stop a malicious actor or government pushing malware to civilian phones to explode a battery?

I'm just impressed that no one detected any anomalies (oh, say, like a lump of c4 painted to look like a capacitor) during a service, considering how many of the devices were out in the wild.
