• Ransomware Alert: US Geospatial Contractor TOWILL Reportedly Hit by Bravox as Federal Cyber Exposure Comes Under Scrutiny + Video (undercodenews.com) — A major federal geospatial contractor headquartered in Concord is reported to have been targeted by the emerging Bravox ransomware group, raising questions about potential impacts on government-related mapping and surveying work. While the compromise isn't independently confirmed, the piece explains why Concord-based Towill's specialized data and federal contracts make its cybersecurity posture important for residents working in tech, defense, and infrastructure.
• cross-country-healdsburg-boys-impress-at-woodbridge-sonoma-academys-hill-runs-personal-record (mercedsunstar.com) — Newhall Community Park in Concord hosted the DLS Nike Invitational on Saturday, where Sonoma Academy's Josie Hill clocked a personal-best 17:28.73 for three miles to finish second in the girls varsity race. The meet drew more than 200 runners in some events, giving Concord residents a front-row seat to top high school cross-country talent from around Northern California.
• Autonomous airplane completes first cross-country flight (lifeboat.com) — An experimental Cessna Caravan began its record-setting autonomous cross-country journey right here in Concord before flying 3,199 miles without pilot input for taxiing, takeoff, or landing. Overseen by Joby, the project showcases how self-flying aircraft could eventually support disaster response, military operations, and service to remote communities, putting Concord at the starting line of a major aviation milestone.
