Dirt bike rider flees officers into the hills above the San Fernando Valley

Law enforcement pursued the rider of a dirt bike who fled from police in Glendale Friday evening and may have escaped into the darkness of night.

Authorities say the rider sped away from an attempted traffic stop for alleged reckless driving along the 134 Freeway at about 9:45 p.m.

The rider turned off his headlamp as he led officers into the hills above Sylmar, where he appeared to stop to talk with a UTV driver, Sky5 footage showed.

KTLA ended its live coverage due to darkness at about 10:15 p.m. It was unclear whether the rider was taken into custody.

US cyber agency CISA says malicious hackers are 'taking advantage' of CrowdStrike outage
As much of the world slowly gets back online after an outage caused by cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike led to global travel and business gridlock, malicious actors are also trying to exploit the situation for their own gain. U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA said in a statement Friday that though the CrowdStrike outage was not linked to a cyberattack or malicious activity, it has "observed threat actors taking advantage of this incident for phishing and other malicious activity."

These startups are trying to prevent another CrowdStrike-like outage, according to VCs
Windows users around the globe woke up on Friday morning to "blue screens of death" (BSOD) thanks to a faulty software update from CrowdStrike. In 2024, one buggy software update should probably not be allowed to take down so many of the globe's most important computer systems. The CrowdStrike outage is drawing attention to cybersecurity companies, but CRV general partner Reid Christian says this wasn't a cybersecurity event; the real problem is that a massive vendor deployed software that wasn't properly tested, debugged or deployed in a staged rollout.

Twitch reinstates Trump's account ahead of the 2024 presidential election
Twitch is reinstating former president Donald Trump’s account ahead of the 2024 presidential election after “indefinitely” banning it back in 2021.

CrowdStrike chaos leads to grounded aircraft — and maybe an unusual weather effect
Air traffic for many airlines ground to a halt after a buggy update from CrowdStrike took down Windows computers around the world. While the IT outage is causing headaches for travelers, it may also have an unexpected effect on the climate: clearer skies and maybe lower temperatures this evening, according to David Travis, a scientist who has performed pioneering research on how jets can affect the weather. Planes flying at high altitudes frequently leave contrails, the billowy streaks created when jet engines dump water vapor and pollution into the atmosphere.
