Cyber Academy Founder Champions Digital Safety for All

Right, so apparently there’s this fine upstanding human who decided that the world’s collective cyber-IQ is so bloody pitiful that they had to start an entire Cyber Academy to teach the clueless masses how not to click on every shiny phishing link that lands in their inbox. Imagine that — teaching people not to be digital morons. Revolutionary, innit?

So this founder, bless their overworked heart, wants to make cybersecurity accessible for everyone — kids, old farts, small businesses, your grandma’s cat — pretty much anyone with a pulse and an internet connection. The mission? Make digital safety as common as handwashing after taking a leak. Admirable? Sure. Easy? About as easy as convincing a manager to stop using “Password123”.

They bang on about building universal awareness, practical skills, and empowerment — because apparently the world’s drowning in cyber threats faster than a recruiter in buzzwords. And of course, they’re hoping to plug the gaping, festering skills gap in cybersecurity by actually training new blood, instead of just whining about the shortage like everyone else on LinkedIn.

So yeah, big applause for someone actually doing something useful while the rest of the tech world’s still arguing about AI ethics on conference panels and pushing out half-assed social media campaigns about “Zero Trust.” This founder’s fighting the good fight — one clueless user at a time. Good luck, mate. You’re going to need ALL of it.

Sign-off:
Reminds me of the time I tried to teach the office staff about phishing emails. Five minutes later, someone forwarded me a scam message asking if it was “one of mine.” I told them yes, and watched half the department “verify their details” in record time. Training complete, stupidity confirmed.
