A Taiwanese company has said that it authorized its brand on the pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria but that another company based in Budapest manufactured them.

The woman whose company was linked to thousands of pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria this week is under the protection of the Hungarian .

The deadly simultaneous explosions triggered by hundreds of pagers carried by Hezbollah members in Lebanon have thrust a little-known Taiwanese electronics manufacturer into the global spotlight, after its damaged products were identified in images following the attack.

Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono has not appeared publicly since the deadly attack that targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah and that has been widely blamed on Israel.

The mother of the woman whose company was linked to thousands of pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria says her daughter has received threats and been advised by the Hungarian secret services not to talk to media.

Arcidiacono's company came under scrutiny after a Taiwanese firm said it had authorised BAC Consulting to use its name on the pagers that were detonated in fatal attacks in Lebanon and Syria.
