90’s to early 00’s style attack. Still a deplorable way to strike.

Interestingly, given just how compromised smart phones are at this point, a pager has now become a far safer means of communication.

Traditionally pagers use either FLEX or POCSAG protocols, both of which are fully unencrypted and have to broadcast everywhere with relatively high power… So safer is maybe a bit of a misnomer… But they also don’t transmit anything so in terms of remote listening and location tracking, yes they are safer.

Right, I meant safer in terms of the device doing what you expect it to be doing. Also, pagers that support encryption are absolutely a thing.
