    PDB Afternoon Bulletin | November 28th, 2023: Iran-Backed Hackers Hit US & Biden Warns Israel Over Destruction In Gaza

    enNovember 28, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Iranian hackers gain access to US water system, shut down pumpIranian hackers breached a US water system, disrupting water supply to two townships, emphasizing the vulnerability of American infrastructure to cyberattacks.

      Iranian hackers have gained access to a local US water system, highlighting the vulnerability of American infrastructure to cyberattacks. The group, Cyber Avengers, shut down a pump supplying drinking water to two townships in Pennsylvania after leaving a threatening message. The system, which uses equipment from an Israeli company, was quickly secured, but this incident underscores the reach and capabilities of Iranian proxy groups. Additionally, the Biden administration has warned Israel to restrict their military campaign in Southern Gaza to avoid potential destruction, as tensions continue in the region. Stay informed with the No Spin News on Samsung TV Plus for more updates on these developing stories.

    • Iran's Proxy Networks Threaten US Critical InfrastructureIran and its IRGC pose a significant cyber threat to US critical infrastructure, including water systems. A recent attack on a Pennsylvania water system serves as a reminder of their aggressiveness and impunity.

      The Iranian regime's ability to leverage proxy networks, including cyber, poses a significant threat to critical infrastructure, such as water systems, in the United States and its allies. The recent cyberattack on a Pennsylvania water system, while not posing an immediate risk to the drinking water supply, serves as a stark reminder of the aggressiveness and impunity with which Iran and its IRGC are acting to assert their influence. This incident highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber or physical terrorism, which is a major concern for US national security. The US infrastructure, including power grids and water systems, were not built with the idea of being targeted for attack, and securing them is a costly and time-consuming process. Despite these challenges, the US and its allies are constantly being tested, probed, and targeted by outside hostile actors. The potential consequences of a major global conflict include the taking down of key systems to disrupt access to electricity, water, fuel, and food. The Biden administration's call for Israel to restrict its military campaign in Southern Gaza and create areas of deconfliction is a testament to the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the need for strategic de-escalation.

    • CCP's Influence on Hollywood Revealed in DocumentaryThe CCP's influence on Hollywood results in censorship and alterations of films, as shown in a new documentary.

      The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has significantly influenced Hollywood, leading to censorship and alterations of films. This is revealed in the documentary "Hollywood Takeover" by The Epoch Times. Meanwhile, in international news, a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the release of captives, including Israeli children and women, as well as foreign nationals. However, the US has issued a warning that any future hostilities must not result in the same level of destruction. In the entertainment industry, Chris Fenton and Tiffany Meyer's documentary sheds light on the CCP's infiltration of major movie studios and the industry's loss of integrity. For those interested, the first 10 minutes of the documentary can be watched for free on hollywoodtakeover.com/baker. In other news, Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News is now available on Samsung TV Plus for live viewing each weeknight at 8 PM. And in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the US is urging both sides to avoid the same level of destruction once hostilities resume.

    • US urges Israel to exercise restraint in GazaThe US calls for Israel to be cautious during military ops, protect civilians & UN facilities, & avoid large-scale destruction.

      The United States is urging Israel to exercise restraint during its military operations in Gaza, following the extensive damage caused during previous phases. The US administration is advocating for de-escalation and the protection of civilian areas, such as UN facilities and shelters, to prevent large-scale displacement and destruction. This comes as Israel continues to release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages and to dismantle Hamas, while facing international criticism for the extensive damage inflicted during military operations. The US is trying to balance its support for Israel's defensive measures with the need to address concerns from the Arab world, Arab American voters, and American youth voters. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with estimates ranging from thousands, but the accuracy of these numbers is disputed due to the source of the reporting. The ultimate goal for Israel is to dismantle Hamas, but the US is urging caution to avoid the severe destruction seen in previous phases.

    • US supports Israel's goal to destroy Hamas but expects adherence to rules of warThe US supports Israel's efforts against Hamas, but emphasizes the importance of minimizing civilian casualties during conflict.

      The US supports Israel's objective to destroy Hamas but expects Israel to adhere to the rules of war and minimize civilian casualties. This was discussed in the context of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with Hamas disregarding international laws and civilian safety. The US, through the White House, has made it clear that Israel does not need instruction on how to address this existential threat but should continue to demonstrate a commitment to preserving life. This situation recalls the tactics used during the American Revolution, with one side wearing uniforms and following a strategic approach, while the other side employed guerrilla tactics. Ultimately, understanding historical parallels and remaining informed can help alleviate stress and anxiety during challenging times.
