The Small Business
Cyber Security Guy
Welcome to my personal blog — a space where I share my own views, opinions, and insights on technology, cyber security, and the realities of working in IT.
This blog is entirely personal. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are mine alone. They do not represent the views, policies, or positions of my employer, past or present, or any organisation I’m associated with professionally or personally.
Expect a mix of:
Straight-talking advice for small businesses
Honest takes on cyber security and IT trends
The occasional rant
A few war stories from the frontlines (names removed to protect the guilty)
With over 40 years in the industry, I’ve seen a lot — some of it brilliant, some of it baffling.
This blog is where I unpack all of it.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Security Disaster: How a Built-In App Left Millions at Risk
The Samsung Galaxy S24 was meant to be the crown jewel of Android. Instead, it shipped with a gaping security hole—thanks to a preinstalled app no one asked for. Researchers found that this app allowed remote attackers to hijack your device, steal your data, and generally wreck your digital life. This isn’t just sloppy—it’s a disgrace.
Samsung pushed out a flagship phone with built-in vulnerabilities, proving once again that shiny hardware means nothing if the software is a ticking time bomb. If you own a Galaxy S24, you should be furious. If you don’t—maybe keep it that way.
