How will the 9/11 of Cyber-Attacks Change the World?

What some are already calling the “9/11 of cyber-attacks,” Hezbollah operatives across southern Lebanon and Beirut were struck by a devastating and highly sophisticated attack when their communication devices—pagers—were turned into bombs. The impact of this cyber-attack reverberates far beyond Hezbollah and West Asia. Every security agency, intelligence service, and militant group around the world is now closely analysing the specifics of this incident. The reality that even low-tech, everyday devices can be turned into bombs has caused a seismic shift in the understanding of cyber-warfare.
