Red Beacon Daily News 08.03.2026 Data Centers are Targets

Red Beacon Daily News Folks. August third, twenty twenty six, Big Story feed issues warning about hackers targeting water systems. It's been on the radar, but now the feed is issued a warning in the face of it. All major water systems were alerted of an increased risk to expose technology after Minnesota's water systems were hacked. It's expanded to multiple states and it should give you pause. We will be focusing over at Prepper Broadcasting Network this week on water preparedness in the face of this three We have a lot of great content over here at the Epic Times. You can see the story. Thank you. Jill McLaughlin. Federal Cybersecurity Agency warned water systems throughout the United States on July thirtieth of an increase in threats to water and wastewater systems. Quote. These threat actors are targeting water entities of all sizes, The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency stated in the alert issued notice after more than thirty community water systems in Minnesota were hit. They don't go into the expanded reach, but sufficed to say the water systems in the United States are undoubtedly under attack, at least from gaining entry to the system itself. No one's died, no one's been injured, the water hasn't been compromised yet. But we should take this very seriously. This is a very serious situation, and above all you should kind of look around at your situation and say, what would it be like if I woke up tomorrow and had no water? How would I deal with that? Where would I get water from? Targets for threat actors include cellular modems installed by operators, vendors, or system integrators that may not be documented or included in routine scans. Quote. Federal and state officials have not publicly attributed the Minnesota tacks to any specific actor Tenable stated in July twenty eighth posts. However, the operational pattern is consistent with the cyber Avengers threat ecosystem, a state directed group the US government has formally attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard core of cyber electronic Command. I mean kind of makes sense, right, kind of makes sense. You are at war with these people, so they are most likely the ones who are attacking the water system. We've got a big show today. This the research for today's show has spawned off an entirely new sort of threat related topic. I don't want it to be Monday to be too heavy, but Monday is looking like it's going to be heavy. Before we get into AI news, we're going to talk about prepper tech. I am just blown away at the things that are popping up in the world of prepping preparedness with the help of artificial intelligence and what I really wish I could do. And it's not easy to get your hands on these things, you know. I'll give you a quick example. I could reach out to Anchor and have them and pretty easily have them send me a solar generator for review. Wouldn't take a lot of coaxing, you know what I mean, being who we are. But it's been really tough to get my hands on one of these Prepper discs, one of the not the the actual Prepper disc itself is that's another story for another show. That's a great piece of technology for prepared and it's amazing. But to get my hands on one of these Prepper AI systems, these off grid Prepper AI systems, man has been I haven't. I haven't got one. I haven't been able to test one. I've tested some software related stuff but I have yet been able to test even one of these standalone things. And uh, I don't know. I'm like you, I'm you know, very leery of all of it, but I'm also like super interested in it. And we're going to take a look at a company that I found over the weekend. They're called Prepper AI, but it's not spelled right, it's prepper with an R instead of an er. At the end, they claim to be a complete exercise platform for emergency management Prepper AI. And man, like I said, I know how easy it is to uh spit one of these websites out nowadays, like it's it doesn't take a lot. So I really want to know, like how's all this stuff work? ESK, Prepper, Prepper Intelligence, Prepper Collaborate and contributors at scale. Let's look at the exercise designer. That's that kind of intrigues me a little bit. Design smarter, exercises, faster, prepper x S. It looks like, is this what's going on with some of these though, Like I don't want to be like a stick in the mud, you know what I mean. But at the same time, the experience that you have with an AI agent, like say you have a problem online and you know you're not going to reach a human being, so you go talk to the AI agent. It seems like a lot of these are built that way, where like you're you know, you're engaging with an online LM that's tailored to some level of preparedness. Right, guardian responds Columbia state. This is cool. This is cool for organizations, right, probably cool for people too. And then you can run the Oh, I'd love to run an exercise. I'm gonna reach out to these guys and see if they'll let us play around a little bit. I just want to see the valid it. Let's check the pricing. Wow, wee Oh, these guys are trying to get rich. I don't mean that's the only thing they're trying to do, but they definitely want to make some money. Two fifty a month, three grand a year for basic, three grand a year for basic. The only thing that you could say about this or they got some testimonials, do that's good. I applied to a scenario that I typically see within the electrical utility industry. Prepper caught on quick and talked and talk and talk, where I do see this being worth three thousand annually is for a compliance standpoint, you know what I mean, Like, if you want to wrap up compliance in terms of safety and security and all that kind of stuff, then Enterprise features twenty thousand dollars annually. Yeah, we definitely got to talk to these guys and see what they got going on, see how this thing is built to some degree, you know, to whatever degree they'll tell us. But this Prepper text segment, this is what it's all about, you know what I mean, it's all about sort of really I see this thing emerging like a year ago, and I was just like, we have to know about this stuff, Like we have to stay on top of all this because it's it's happening. It's changing all the time. You know, Prepper dot AI without the E. Check it out if you're interested. I mean, they're not a sponsor anything. I just literally like to look that stuff. I'm blown away by what people come up with and what AI comes up with together. And you know, look, if there are things that you think about and you worry about with AI, right, you'd be like, I don't know if they're going to be able to figure out how to best use my land, you know, like that's something I wouldn't trust them with the land, the make up, the trees, the thickets, the brush, the soil type, the pH all that kind of stuff. What do I want to grow? What does my family like sort of the homesteading forgers plan or whatever. That's not something you'd want AI to figure out for You want to figure that stuff out on your own. But I'll tell you what, Like if you're in a business in a hurry and you need to feed the AI eschematic of your business and say, hey, we need an evacuation plan. Here are the exits here, you know see. But then again, like that's the other that's the other part of it too, though, Like we need an evacuation plan now. And I used to do this stuff for a living, right with the for the food bank here in Richmond. If you're going to pull out the map right and you're gonna look at the exits in order to explain to AI where the map and the exits are or whatever, you're like kind of done already. You've kind of you know what I mean, Like how much more thinking do you have to do to wrap it up? So I don't know, you know, it's the AI stuff really seems fun for wargaming. I feel like war gaming would be really fun in the prepping world. But that's why I want to get these guys on to talk about it, because it is interesting and I'm sure they have a better grip on it than just me trying to figure it out by scanning the website. Now, this next bit is incredibly unnerving, and I'm not going to go into the maximum unnerve of it all because it's I feel dumb for not having thought about it. I don't want to say that on air because I don't want you to think that you're dumb. It's a no dues thing. It's a no dues thing that is like, it really stings, you know what I mean. You're ai assisted here. We've got a bit of a situation, all right, folks. So I wanted to read this on CNN, but they wanted me to pay money for it. So is this Iran appears to be blasting Amazon data centers off the map. This is the deal. Right after the attack, the Iranian state media outlet I don't know how to say that Tasnim published a partial statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard course saying the IRGC aerospace warriors in response to the aggression and assault by the child killing American Army on the under construction and civilians affilities facilities of Dark Hovin I have no idea, attacked and destroyed the central data infrastructure of the American company Amazon in Bahrain with several cruise missiles. So this is a thing, man. So it looks like there have been four attacks thus far in the Middle East on data center infrastructure. I'm sorry about this, so there's no reason for me to share this thing. It's so bad, like the the uh ads affect the way the the effect the way that the article works on the share so it's all like it goes crazy. I don't know. Overall, it marks the fourth such attack on the data center since the US began the war in February. Back in March, the IRGC announced the number of US tech companies as iran's new targets, including Google, Microsoft, palent Here, IBM, Nvidia, and Oracle. Militarily, it's a logical move as US tech company has been integrated in the American war effort. I'm gonna I'm just gonna put this out there and then we're gonna move on. But and I'll talk about this more in detail at PBN today, but it's really important for you to wrap your head around this. You know, you wouldn't take a suburb and say, oh, there's a sliver of land over there, let's buy it up. And what we'll do is we'll put a military base there. You know what I mean, Oh, let's put a nuclear power plant right there in the middle of this subdivision. However, all over the country, these data centers are going up in places like that. I really do think that the future of the data center thing. Are these Nvidia boxes that people are going to put on their house for twenty two grand a year. And I'll tell you right now, like it's worth looking into, you know what I'm saying. But anyway, so then again with the I mean, you could be completely over your head in costs if water and power go up like crazy. But anyway, but then again, if you could run it with your own power and water, neither here nor that. The big thing is this, The big question is this. Iran's not coming over here. We know that, But are we filling the suburbs up with military targets right now? I mean, if AI becomes the pinnacle of warfare and war fighting strategy. Are we putting the brain of the you know, the warfare the general, or we're putting the general's brain in the middle of subdivisions? And if we are putting the general's brain, I no, we're not going to go that far. Let's move on from that thought. Understand, Iran has decided data centers are military targets. The world is likely to figure it out. Data centers are military targets. Across the board. That means something, because no longer is it just oh man, there's an AI data center going in close by. It's going to affect water, it's going to affect this, it's going to affect that. But in an all out war situation or war with a major nation that's capable, that means you have a military target in your backyard. Now there's a reason now right for that area to be bombed and obliterated. That's new. That is new, and that is something to consider now with a show like this. I mean, I'm sure there are poetic things to be said, right, I'm sure there are stanzas of poetry out there. But one thing I've neglected to do here on Red Beacon Daily News is well to read from the great Manual of poetry and humanity, which is the Holy Bible. And after a show like today, I think, you know, Philippians four six through seven is what we all need, and I mean we all need this on a regular basis. This is this is the drink from the cold water fountain after you know, a hot day. Philippians four six seven. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving crucial present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. And there's no better way to end it than that. Thank you all for joining us today.
