About

David Hollingworth writes for Cyber Daily, covering how cybersecurity threats, software vulnerabilities and digital infrastructure issues affect organisations and the wider technology ecosystem.

Cybersecurity threats and active vulnerabilities

Hollingworth focuses on live cyber risks rather than abstract technology trends. In his coverage of the US cyber agency warning about active exploitation of a Microsoft Exchange Server spoofing vulnerability, he tracks how a specific flaw moves from technical advisory to real-world threat, and what that means for administrators and security teams. He brings together vendor information, security advisories and technical descriptions of the vulnerability to explain how attackers gain leverage and why the issue matters beyond the security community.

He writes in clear, direct language that preserves essential technical detail. Terms such as spoofing, exploitation and patching are explained through their operational impact, not just their jargon definitions. His reporting highlights when a vulnerability shifts from being a theoretical weakness to one that is being used in the wild, and he underlines timelines and urgency for remediation. That approach makes his work useful to readers who need to translate cyber risk into decisions about systems, budgets and workflows.

Government cyber agencies and vendor response

Hollingworth pays close attention to how government cyber agencies and major technology vendors respond to emerging threats. When a national cyber agency issues an alert, he sets out what the agency is warning about, how it has assessed the threat, and what actions it is asking organisations to take. He also notes how vendors such as Microsoft handle disclosure, advisory updates and patch releases, treating these responses as central parts of the story rather than background noise.

His work tracks the interaction between public-sector warnings and private-sector infrastructure. He shows how guidance from agencies interacts with vendor bulletins, configuration changes and security tools already deployed inside organisations. By treating these institutions as part of the same security chain, he gives readers a clearer sense of who is responsible for what, where gaps emerge, and how policy decisions filter down into day-to-day technical operations.

Practical impact for enterprise and critical systems

Across his technology beat, Hollingworth writes with an eye on the business and infrastructure impact of cyber issues. In covering server and email platform vulnerabilities, he sets the story in the context of the systems that organisations rely on for core functions, such as communications, identity and access management. He spells out the consequences of delayed patching, misconfigurations or incomplete mitigations, including service disruption and the potential for broader compromise.

He structures his reporting so that readers can quickly see what is affected, who is at risk and what steps are recommended next. Technical specifics are used to support that practical frame: versions and configurations are included to help readers understand whether their systems fall into the affected set, and direct references to mitigation guidance support operational decisions. The result is technology coverage that is grounded in risk and response, aimed at readers who have to keep complex systems secure under real-world constraints.

Broader technology and security context

In addition to individual vulnerabilities and advisories, Hollingworth situates stories within broader cybersecurity and technology trends. He connects specific incidents to long-running issues such as the security of widely deployed enterprise software, the challenge of maintaining legacy systems, and the growing role of state agencies in coordinating responses to cyber threats. His work reflects a consistent interest in how technical weaknesses intersect with policy, governance and organisational practice.

Beyond Cyber Daily, he writes technology news and features for specialist outlets, maintaining a focus on cybersecurity, enterprise IT and digital infrastructure. Across these platforms, he approaches technology as a system of interlocking components — software, networks, policy and human behaviour — and reports on where that system is most exposed. That through-line gives his coverage a clear orientation toward decision-makers who need both technical clarity and contextual understanding of cyber risk.

Adnan Farooqui

sammobile.com

Adnan Farooqui is a technology journalist at SamMobile whose work centers on Samsung’s hardware, software and strategy, with a focus on what its moves mean for the company’s future. He treats foldable phones as a strategic inflection point, using devices like the Galaxy Z Flip line to examine portfolio strategy, demand, cost and competition, and to track how long Samsung sustains product lines. He also covers the everyday Galaxy ecosystem of phones, tablets, wearables and the software that connects them, following One UI and Android updates, security patches and new features. His reporting ties product news to business decisions, pricing, launch strategy, software support windows and subscription pushes. He blends fast news with analysis, separates confirmed facts from his own reading of events, and uses plain language to frame why Samsung’s choices matter to different buyers.

Alexander Haro

theinertia.com

Alexander Haro stands out for surf and ocean culture coverage that focuses on how people really use gear and technology in the water. He writes for surf readers who care about feel, not specs, and he often uses specific surfers, sessions, and waves to show how new equipment, design ideas, and board-building trends change the ride. He writes regularly about surf equipment, especially foiling, and he covers surf craft, foils, and the practical effects of new gear on paddling, speed, and wave connection. His work is short, session-driven, and video-led, with measured, conversational reporting that avoids hype while respecting surf history and newer ideas.

Alíz Kovács-Zöldi covers photography technology where engineering detail meets practical shooting. She writes for Amateur Photographer, focusing on camera gear, optical design and how new hardware shapes the way images are made. She covers camera and lens technology, especially lenses and other core parts of a kit. She looks at how new products are built and what they are designed to do, not just their spec sheets. Her stories stay close to the tech, explaining focal lengths, focusing systems and form factors in clear language. In her piece on Thypoch’s first autofocus lens with three prime focal lengths in one unit, she shows how she explains unconventional gear and its intended use. Her beat is hardware-focused, tracking advances in autofocus, optics and physical design through concrete examples of new cameras and lenses.
