Hypothesizing here:
Israeli shell company buys up old, discontinued handsets, refits them as weapons and then lets “certain people” buy them at a bargain price? That would make some degree of sense. Which means it’s probably wrong.

Some very interesting claims (though not yet dumps of the allegedly exfiltrated files) being made by an Iran-aligned hacking group about possible backdooring of Vidisco inspection systems to assist in avoiding detection. Also claims that a battery company that does defense contract stuff handled providing the modified batteries; which is more plausible but less intriguing.
The security researcher writing them up came to my attention when he was involved with Microsoft’s egg-on-face incident around “Recall”; interesting fellow.
