"title": "Senior Editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk",
"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And that helped me just dive headfirst into the sport,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., water polo is a relatively niche sport. According to USA Water Polo, the nonprofit federation that promotes the sport and selects the U.S. Olympic team, there are more than 50,000 affiliated members and 500 clubs nationwide. That number is dwarfed by other American sports, like baseball, which has more than 15 million amateur players across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the small footprint, water polo dominates in California. This year, all but 3 of the 26 players on the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic teams are from the state. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-water-polo/colleges\">Three-quarters\u003c/a> of all high school players in the country live in California, according to Next College Student Athlete, a college athlete recruiting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a California team. The state will have its stamp on the team culture for sure,” said Woodhead, whose position on the U.S. men’s team is attacker. “The Southern California guys definitely talk about traffic more than anyone else I’ve ever met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11997462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11997462\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple people sit with their feet in the water at a pool.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_4977-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Athletes on the UC Berkeley Men’s water polo team rest during practice on July 18, 2024. \u003ccite>(Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jenna Flynn, a Stanford sophomore who grew up in San José, attributes her success in making the Olympic team to the small scene for the sport in her hometown.

They have won the gold medal in the past three Olympics and appear to be in good form after winning a gold medal at the World Aquatics Championships in Qatar this year. Flynn scored 11 goals in the competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time the U.S. men’s team won medals was in the 2008 Olympics, earning silver. This summer, the team to beat is Serbia, which has won the gold medal in the past two Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the small following for water polo, the sport got a pop culture moment earlier this month. Rapper Flavor Flav from the group Public Enemy dropped by the women’s team’s practice and dove into the pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was just like, ‘I’m gonna get in with you guys and see how hard this is!’” Flynn recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flav announced that he had signed a five-year sponsorship deal with the U.S. men’s and women’s senior national team and agreed to be the teams’ official hype man.

And that helped me just dive headfirst into the sport,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., water polo is a relatively niche sport. According to USA Water Polo, the nonprofit federation that promotes the sport and selects the U.S. Olympic team, there are more than 50,000 affiliated members and 500 clubs nationwide. That number is dwarfed by other American sports, like baseball, which has more than 15 million amateur players across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Still, experts have long been wary of such a massive disruption in a world that leans so heavily on technology, and now they are warning organizations of all kinds to prepare for more in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s quite a wake-up call to companies, to industry, to governments and to nonprofits for how you need to be ready to handle this sort of catastrophic change in the way your systems work,” said Betsy Cooper, the director of the Aspen Tech Policy Hub.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive outage has been traced back to a “single content update,” CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said in a \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/George_Kurtz/status/1814316045185822981\">post\u003c/a> on social media platform X. Though the company said a fix for the issue had been deployed shortly before 3 a.m., many banks, private and public sector companies, airports and hospitals were still scrambling to resume normal operations midday on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what to know:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What is CrowdStrike?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>CrowdStrike provides cybersecurity software to more than 29,000 customers, including nearly 300 Fortune 500 companies such as Amazon, Google, and Target, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/technology/what-is-crowdstrike-cybersecurity-firm-behind-global-tech-outage-2024-07-19/#:~:text=CrowdStrike%20offers%20cloud-based%20security,from%20threats%20such%20as%20malware.\">Reuters\u003c/a>. Its services include protection from malware and ransomware threats, firewall management, cloud security and tracking down and identifying hackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company made news and became the subject of right-wing conspiracy theories for assisting in a government investigation in 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/\">working with\u003c/a> the Democratic National Committee to determine that Russian-affiliated intelligence hacked the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s outage was not a cyberattack, CrowdStrike said. It was caused by a defect found in the content update pushed to Windows hosts; Mac and Linux systems were unaffected.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long will the outage last?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Because so many Windows machines running CrowdStrike software around the world were affected, it could take much longer for systems to return to normal even after the company’s fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many affected systems are continually crashing in what’s known as a boot loop and must be restarted in safe mode to manually remove the files CrowdStrike identified as the issue — and that has to be done one machine at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history,” Troy Hunt, an Australian security consultant and creator of the hack-checking website Have I Been Pwned, said in \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1814198760387596407\">a post\u003c/a> early Friday on X.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she can’t recall a more serious outage that has lasted so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could take days for all affected businesses to recover, and the outage will have “cascading” effects on industries like air travel, said Levent Ertaul, a professor and cybersecurity researcher at Cal State East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is important for us as far as this incident is concerned is two points. The first is you see how we are all dependent on technology; our lives depend on technology. And the second is how fragile that technology is,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why does this matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Concern about a widespread outage isn’t new — experts have been wary of this kind of disruption for almost a decade, Cooper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a very long time, we have had in the back of our heads the possibility that a major service disruption like this could occur,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how widespread the effects of an outage might be has grown as technology has advanced, even within the last few years. Whereas email and digital storage systems, for example, used to be separate, now they are often connected. CrowdStrike is an interconnected digital cybersecurity system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The prospect of the disruption has been long-standing, but perhaps the way that technology is developing means that the risks are potentially higher than they were even a few years ago of one change being able to affect so many systems across the board,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, companies will need to plan for these scenarios in case of another code defect or a cyberattack targeting similar systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take a moment as a company to think, ‘What happens if my systems go down? If I can’t access email on this particular day, if I’m unable to get into our finance systems, if we were unable, as an airline, to see flight manifestos?’” Cooper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said even small things like ensuring that employers have contact information for their employees outside of the digital software they use could help them maintain or more quickly resume operations if an outage occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then, what is your recovery path, assuming those systems are going to be down not for a matter of minutes but for hours, even days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/slewis\">Sukey Lewis\u003c/a> contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Though the company said a fix for the issue had been deployed shortly before 3 a.m., many banks, private and public sector companies, airports and hospitals were still scrambling to resume normal operations midday on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what to know:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What is CrowdStrike?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>CrowdStrike provides cybersecurity software to more than 29,000 customers, including nearly 300 Fortune 500 companies such as Amazon, Google, and Target, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/technology/what-is-crowdstrike-cybersecurity-firm-behind-global-tech-outage-2024-07-19/#:~:text=CrowdStrike%20offers%20cloud-based%20security,from%20threats%20such%20as%20malware.\">Reuters\u003c/a>. Its services include protection from malware and ransomware threats, firewall management, cloud security and tracking down and identifying hackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company made news and became the subject of right-wing conspiracy theories for assisting in a government investigation in 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/\">working with\u003c/a> the Democratic National Committee to determine that Russian-affiliated intelligence hacked the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s outage was not a cyberattack, CrowdStrike said. It was caused by a defect found in the content update pushed to Windows hosts; Mac and Linux systems were unaffected.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long will the outage last?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Because so many Windows machines running CrowdStrike software around the world were affected, it could take much longer for systems to return to normal even after the company’s fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many affected systems are continually crashing in what’s known as a boot loop and must be restarted in safe mode to manually remove the files CrowdStrike identified as the issue — and that has to be done one machine at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history,” Troy Hunt, an Australian security consultant and creator of the hack-checking website Have I Been Pwned, said in \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1814198760387596407\">a post\u003c/a> early Friday on X.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she can’t recall a more serious outage that has lasted so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could take days for all affected businesses to recover, and the outage will have “cascading” effects on industries like air travel, said Levent Ertaul, a professor and cybersecurity researcher at Cal State East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is important for us as far as this incident is concerned is two points. The first is you see how we are all dependent on technology; our lives depend on technology. And the second is how fragile that technology is,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why does this matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Concern about a widespread outage isn’t new — experts have been wary of this kind of disruption for almost a decade, Cooper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a very long time, we have had in the back of our heads the possibility that a major service disruption like this could occur,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how widespread the effects of an outage might be has grown as technology has advanced, even within the last few years. Whereas email and digital storage systems, for example, used to be separate, now they are often connected. CrowdStrike is an interconnected digital cybersecurity system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The prospect of the disruption has been long-standing, but perhaps the way that technology is developing means that the risks are potentially higher than they were even a few years ago of one change being able to affect so many systems across the board,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, companies will need to plan for these scenarios in case of another code defect or a cyberattack targeting similar systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take a moment as a company to think, ‘What happens if my systems go down? If I can’t access email on this particular day, if I’m unable to get into our finance systems, if we were unable, as an airline, to see flight manifestos?’” Cooper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said even small things like ensuring that employers have contact information for their employees outside of the digital software they use could help them maintain or more quickly resume operations if an outage occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then, what is your recovery path, assuming those systems are going to be down not for a matter of minutes but for hours, even days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/slewis\">Sukey Lewis\u003c/a> contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
