They're not made by Motorola (which is Chinese). They were made by Gold Apollo (which is Taiwanese).
To be specific, the original Motorola company split into Motorola Mobility, which is owned by Lenovo and sells phones, and Motorola Solutions, which is American, sells telecommunications systems, and definitely does work with Israel.
This was a really hard lesson for Hezbollah to learn to always buy shit from certified anti-imperialist sources and not from fake China. China should airlift Huawei devices to Hezbollah to replace them.
On the other hand, the Axis of Resistance has never had a better excuse to annihilate Israel in response.
This is the kind of thing that should motivate every nerd to realize that they do have something to contribute to the revolution even if it seems small at first. Help with opsec and infosec! Orgs are busy thinking about other things! They will be safer if you help them decrease their attack surface.
This wasn't need shit. This was a supply chain attack. Most people saw supply chain attacks as pure cyber - backdoors, remote listening, etc. This is the first supply chain attack I know of that added lethality. This is something every organization is going to look for on all electronics shipments now.
If you are supplying thousands of devices to an org the first thing you should do is verify the supply chain / your infosec around the ordering process and then disassemble some when they arrive. All it requires is a screwdriver and a spudger at most. Personally, I would have been looking out for recording devices or GPS devices, but you would also discover the bomb material if you did this.

It was made in Europe, not Taiwan. Also, the KMT doesn't represent Taiwan. They are literally immigrants to Taiwan and are referred to as such there.
Reading between the lines it sounds the company was a mossad front
Of course it was.
wat
It's a subsidiary of Lenovo
I am currently taking bets on what of the 3 companies owned by china will be the last one the US bans, Motorola, Volvo, or Milwakee tools
Just to be safe, don't buy western tech. That in itself would be good revenge. Bankrupt the assholes. Oh you sanctioned Huawei, watch no one buy your tech because of crazy rumors that should be spread even if they are false about western tech.
I am glad you clarified, I was trying to figureout why Lenovo would co-operate with Isn'treal
