"Cyber war is being transferred to another level". This was stated by cyber security expert Yavor Kolev on the air of NOVA, quoted by FOCUS.

"This can lead to massive damage and loss of life. Perhaps in the future, emerging technologies can be used for such an impact in the home. Such an impact can be imposed on specific rooms in homes," said Kolev.

He commented on the case in Lebanon and Syria: "Probably this operation was prepared very carefully and for a long time. This is a serious challenge for manufacturers of all devices and equipment to implement safety measures. Pagers are almost analog devices that were effectively attacked. Smartphones can be controlled through cameras and microphones.

The cyber expert advised us to be careful about what we do online and to observe cyber hygiene.
