Hackers Target Sector 4

Greetings from the Regional Tracking Center in Aruba,

It appears today is our turn. After enjoying a quiet weekend our servers here at the Regional Tracking Center are under siege. Fortunately, and thanks to safeguards put in place by North Pole Security, the worse thing that has happened so far is a slight slow down in how our Internet here is working.

We are still receiving reports from trackers and the flow of information and communication from North Pole Flight Command appears uninterrupted.

We are experiencing some issues related to solar activity up in Greenland. That’s more of a localized situation, and the expert tell us it is not related to our hack attempts coming out of China.

At this present time, I do not have any new reporting needs to request of you.

You can anticipate that come late Wednesday of this week the call for more Weather Reports will likely increase.

Please keep your eye on the news. There are rumblings that elf check-in for tracking Santa may be moved up a little this year. We should learn more on our Elf Supervisor call with Flight Command tomorrow.

Thanks!
