The National Security Agency (NSA) has publicly acknowledged recent occurrences of what it describes as disabling cyberattacks that are striking America’s water and wastewater systems. In a letter from the NSA to governors, dated March 18, two recent attacks carried out by Chinese and Iranian government-backed entities are highlighted. Media reports that one of the attacks affected an area of Pennsylvania.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

The Biden administration has asked states to make sure that their designated water systems have been assessed for any vulnerabilities. The administration points to a list of actions recommended by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) that could help improve security.

In many cases, even such basic cybersecurity precautions as resetting default passwords or updating software to address known vulnerabilities have yet to be put in place. But these simple measures could mean the difference between business as usual and a disruptive cyberattack.

This letter also affirms the prophetic words of warning to cover our waterways. Many of us are already engaged in prayer to protect our waterways through Dutch Sheets’s GH15, and the NSA’s March 18th letter acknowledges what was already recognized about plans to weaken America from within. We need not fear. We must stand our ground and intensify our spiritual warfare and faith-filled preparation.

The security of our water and wastewater systems is a matter of national security and public health. Let’s pray hard for protection, asking our God to disable the hackers out to disturb and harm our nation!
