Good morning on this Saturday before Mother's Day. Last week I wrote about cyber-spying and shared how many of our computerized systems have been compromised. I thought I would write one final article further focusing on one aspect of this subject. CNET News reported this week that the air traffic control mission-support system of the Federal Aviation Administration has been hacked by hackers (persons who illegally gain access to and sometimes tamper with information in a computer system) several times in recent years. Up until now the attacks have primarily disrupted the mission-support systems rather than the operational networks, but security experts warn that the nation's critical infrastructure is increasingly at risk and reported that last year the FAA critical network servers fell under the control of hackers who could have shut them down. Now that is a sobering revelation. Imagine a scenario where our enemies could interfere with our air traffic control systems. The nation is facing more frequent attacks from sophisticated nation-sponsored cyber attacks. The stage is being set more each day for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Tomorrow's message will focus on what it means to honor our mothers as the Ten Commandments teach in the Old Testament and Jesus reiterated in the New Testament. We will be recognizing all mothers and honoring a select group with a special gift. I hope you'll be there and be bringing mom with you.
