The Cyberattack Crisis: The Coming Battle For Control Of The Internet

 

Why Are We Still Here?

This is the greatest time to be alive in the entire Church Age! Bible prophecy is history written in advance and our generation has witnessed more fulfilled prophecy about the end times than any before us!

Few people are privileged to be alive at the time of a dispensational change—when something happens that has never been seen before.

The Cyberattack Crisis: The Coming Battle For Control Of The Internet

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning to discover that your bank’s website is inaccessible. Your credit card no longer works. Gas stations cannot process payments. Grocery stores are accepting cash only, while others have closed entirely because their computerized systems are down.

Is This What They Are Preparing For? “Financial Doomsday” Looms As Cyberattacks And Rogue AI Agents Force Banks To Prepare For A “Day After” Scenario

Could insidious forces use ultra-powerful AI agents to create a “financial doomsday” by hacking into banks all over the globe? Financial executives have been forced to prepare for a “day after” scenario because the number of AI cyberattacks is increasing at a blistering pace. As AI models become even more powerful and even more sophisticated, the attacks on our financial system will only get worse. It appears to be only a matter of time until a worst case scenario materializes. How will our economy function when that day suddenly arrives?

US approves sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine

The United States has approved the sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, a critically needed munition for defence against escalating Russian aerial attacks.

However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned it could take "several years" for the deliveries to arrive.

The US State Department said the advanced PAC-3 interceptor missiles would cost $2.1bn (£1.6bn) and would be "funded entirely" by Kyiv's allies in Europe and Canada.

On Friday night Zelensky repeated his calls for the US to speed up the release of its Patriots – the only effective weapon for downing Russia's deadly ballistic missiles.

Syrians struggle with soaring prices as crisis challenges post-Assad recovery

Last month, protests erupted in squares and streets across Syria. People burned tyres, blocked roads and chanted slogans, angry at the government's decision to raise fuel prices again. It was the largest show of discontent yet since President Ahmed al-Sharaa came to power two years ago.

Speaking on a Syrian TV channel, a man said he still supported the authorities but that his situation had deteriorated to the point where he could no longer afford to buy bread. "Honestly," another said, "we have begun to fear what kind of new decision each morning will bring".

The increase was the latest in a series of measures people blame for a growing cost-of-living crisis. For many Syrians, life, financially, has worsened since rebels led by Sharaa ousted President Bashar al-Assad, ending five decades of his family's brutal rule and more than 13 years of a devastating civil war.

Catapulted to the presidency, Sharaa has, since then, led Syria's transition and efforts to revive a broken economy after a long period of mismanagement, isolation and conflict.

There was never any doubt about how challenging this would be. But as they celebrated Assad's overthrow and their new freedoms, Syrians, perhaps unrealistically, hoped things would quickly improve. That, however, has not materialised, and the handling of the economy has frustrated many here.

From essential bills to basic items, the cost of virtually everything has gone up. And many saw a further and unexpected rise in fuel prices as a sign of a government out of touch with its country. "We don't want roundabouts. Every day they build a new roundabout. People stood by you and are still with you," another protester said, addressing Sharaa, "but this will [make] things explode". Days later, amid calls for further demonstrations, the increase was revoked.
