A former friend of the Hungarian businesswoman linked to the coordinated “exploding pager” attacks in Lebanon has shared new insights into her life. The woman in question, Christiana Parsoney Archediacono, is the CEO of the company that supplied the devices, “PAC.”
According to a report by the British newspaper Daily Mail, a close former friend described Christiana as “mysterious” and revealed that “she always hid the nature of her work.” Her name made headlines after it was revealed that the pagers used in the explosions on Tuesday in Lebanon were produced by the company “PAC,” headquartered in Budapest.
Christiana’s involvement came to light because of her role as CEO of the company, a position she also mentions on her LinkedIn profile.

Although The New York Times reported that the company was part of a complex network of Israeli intelligence (Mossad) front companies, Christiana Parsoney Archediacono denied any knowledge of such a conspiracy. However, her former friend noted that she was “not very open about her work,” according to Daily Mail.
Recalling their conversations, the friend said, “Whenever I asked her what her work involved, she never really explained. She would just say, ‘business as usual.’ It was always a bit vague.”
Meanwhile, Taiwanese company “Gold Apollo” denied manufacturing the pagers involved in the Lebanon explosions, which killed 12 people and injured thousands, many of whom were members of Hezbollah. The attack, widely attributed to Israel, has sparked significant controversy.
“Gold Apollo” clarified that the devices were actually produced by the Hungarian company “PAC,” which has a license to use the “Gold Apollo” brand.
