              Some more numbers

              Scores injured: At least nine people were killed and 2,800 wounded in an attack that targeted pagers held by members of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health minister. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was one of those injured, according to Iranian state media.

              Hezbollah blames Israel: The group said it holds Israel responsible for the deadly explosions, amid already increased tensions in the region. The Lebanese government also condemned the attack as “criminal Israeli aggression.”

              No comment from IDF: The Israeli military, which has engaged in tit-for-tat strikes with Hezbollah for months, said it would not be commenting on the incidents.

              Hospitals packed: At least 170 people injured are in critical condition, the health minister said, and many hospitals in southern Lebanon have exceeded capacity.

                    If nothing else this event should trigger a manufacturer’s recall of those makes and models of pagers.

                          I don't think it can be really called "surgeries."

                            So the pagers were ordered from a company in Taiwan. This forum has a very brilliant member from Taiwan. Coincidence? I think not.

                                    Additional information about the company that sold the beepers to Hezbollah

                                    • According to the Hungarian company registry, it turns out that the Hungarian company BAC Consulting KFT, which manufactured the beepers for Hezbollah, was only established in 2022 and reached a turnover of one million euros in just two years.

                                    • The domain was purchased in 2020, two years before the company was founded.

                                    • The domain previously belonged to another company.

                                    • The company's website is filled with generic photos. It claims to specialize in various consulting fields, including environment, development, and international relations. It is unclear with whom the company has worked or what its experience is.

                                    • The company's official address is a private residence in Budapest.

                                    • The owner of the company, and apparently its only employee (according to the website), is Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, who has an impressive and maintained LinkedIn profile. However, it is filled with posts irrelevant to her work and not typical for LinkedIn.

                                    • She holds a PhD, but she has no Facebook or Instagram accounts.

                                    • There are only 3-4 pictures of her on the internet, which is very unusual.

                                    • The other employees listed in the company have strange names, fake profiles, or are actual people who do not work for the company.

                                    • Cristiana's LinkedIn profile was created in 2019.

                                    • Her picture is also being used by another company, suggesting it may have been a fake picture.

                                    • The other company also appears fake, and its phone number is disconnected.

                                    The company's website was blocked this morning, now requiring a username and password to access.
                                    Attempts to call the company or Cristiana have gone unanswered.

                                    You can go and do some digging yourself.

                                      Some commentator said that this was a one-of type of thing. Of course, it can never be used again.

                                      But, in this case, the thinking was "Use it or lose it."

                                        If there was a shell manufacturer, then there needed to be someone on the inside to direct Hezbollah to purchase from this company.

                                          Additional information about the company that sold the beepers to Hezbollah

                                          • According to the Hungarian company registry, it turns out that the Hungarian company BAC Consulting KFT, which manufactured the beepers for Hezbollah, was only established in 2022 and reached a turnover of one million euros in just two years.

                                          • The domain was purchased in 2020, two years before the company was founded.

                                          • The domain previously belonged to another company.

                                          • The company's website is filled with generic photos. It claims to specialize in various consulting fields, including environment, development, and international relations. It is unclear with whom the company has worked or what its experience is.

                                          • The company's official address is a private residence in Budapest.

                                          • The owner of the company, and apparently its only employee (according to the website), is Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, who has an impressive and maintained LinkedIn profile. However, it is filled with posts irrelevant to her work and not typical for LinkedIn.

                                          • She holds a PhD, but she has no Facebook or Instagram accounts.

                                          • There are only 3-4 pictures of her on the internet, which is very unusual.

                                          • The other employees listed in the company have strange names, fake profiles, or are actual people who do not work for the company.

                                          • Cristiana's LinkedIn profile was created in 2019.

                                          • Her picture is also being used by another company, suggesting it may have been a fake picture.

                                          • The other company also appears fake, and its phone number is disconnected.

                                          The company's website was blocked this morning, now requiring a username and password to access.
                                          Attempts to call the company or Cristiana have gone unanswered.

                                          You can go and do some digging yourself.

                                          That still begs the question of whether it was a shell for Israel or for Hezbollah. Hezbollah can’t just call BlackBerry and order 5000 pagers…
