From high school dropout to Māori Millionaire
A young overachiever who dropped out of high school and turned to drugs has rebounded in a few short years to become an author and passionate advocate for bridging the wealth gap. Te Kahukura Boynton, 21, wrote Māori Millionaire, the first personal finance book by a Māori author. Around 50 people, young and old, attended the book launch at at Terere Marae in Ōpōtiki where Boynton shared her story and read from her book on how to build better money habits. 'The rangatahi that came today," she reflected afterwards, "they're just so inspired to start their journeys and achieve their goals and that means the world to me, to be for them what I really wished I had at their age.' At their age, Boynton was deputy head girl and on her way to becoming dux. ADVERTISEMENT 'I was at high school and I was very depressed. I was a high achiever, always really loved studies and things like that, and I had really, really big goals but I was really struggling with my mental health.' She said her studies were going well but inside she felt 'like a mess' and a 'failure' and ended up dropping out of high school to enrol into university without a plan or a strategy. 'It was there where I hit my rock bottom, my kind of breaking point.' She struggled with drugs and her weight for a time before she came to a powerful realisation that would change her life for the better. 'Everything that I was navigating… I was the person who could change that, and I was the person who could get myself on track, and it wasn't going to be easy, but as long as I stuck at it and as long as I just showed up every day and just did my best, I would see progress.' Fast forward to now, it's a new era for Boynton who has ditched the drugs; lost more than 75kg; founded a business focusing on empowering Māori to achieve financial independence; and published a book. What's important for her, though, is bringing her people alongside. ADVERTISEMENT 'To be able to have this book launch, something so big, not only for my iwi, for my whānau, but for Māori, it's been so special to bring this kaupapa back [to Terere Marae] and to be surrounded by my whānau.' Book launch at Terere Marae in Ōpōtiki (Source: Seven Sharp) She said holding the event at the marae meant she could build on strengthening the link to her ancestral home, which was important for her whānau. 'My nan spent a lot of time at our marae and something I think growing up … I looked at kids who grew up at their marae and I felt like I was missing something in that way.' Being on the marae also reminds her of the work she has in front of her, which includes reviving her reo. Growing up fluent, she said she's been out of practice for several years and has 'lost so much' of her reo. 'For me, hei aha te pūtea (who cares about the money) if you've lost your reo, if you've lost your te ao Māori (Māori worldview). "It doesn't matter how much money you have or how much financial prosperity you build if you don't have your whānau, if you don't have your reo, if you don't have your tikanga, and so for me it's an opportunity for me to grow and to learn.'

Everyone with an Android phone put on red alert - check for update 'immediately'
Android phone owners must make sure their devices are fully up to date. If your chosen phone is powered by Android then you'd be wise to head to your settings and check for the latest update without delay. It's been confirmed that a new patch has been released and, although it's as not critical as last months upgrade, users are being urged to install it without delay. 'Although the latest Android security bulletin does not list any vulnerabilities currently known to be under exploitation, we still strongly recommend that Android users update their devices immediately,' said Adam Boynton, Senior Security Strategy Manager EMEIA at security firm Jamf. 'The majority of the fixes are within the Android framework, which provides the foundation for building Android applications and is therefore an attractive target for cybercriminals. Exploiting the most severe vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain elevated access and administrative rights.' The most urgent upgrades from Google are ones that have been given the dreaded "zero day" rating. These flaws mean cyber crooks are aware of the glitch and are actively exploring it. Luckily that's not the case this month but Android users should still be on high alert and make sure their phones are fully updated. That's because anyone running older Android software versions is technically open to attack. There are four vulnerabilities located within the Android system component, caused by improper input validation,' Jamf's Boynton said. 'CVE-2025-26453, CVE-2025-26445, and CVE-2025-26441 could allow a local application to gain access to sensitive information, while exploitation of CVE-2025-26443 could allow a local application to execute arbitrary code. 'The release provides a window of opportunity to get ahead of cybercriminals; it appears that none of the vulnerabilities addressed in the June security bulletin have yet to be exploited in the wild, making this the perfect time to patch all supported devices.' Pixel phones will almost certainly get this latest patch first with the manufactures such as Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Xiaomi, Honor then following after. Android firms are getting better at supporting phones for longer, too. Samsung, Google and Honor all offer seven years of updates for many of their latest phones, though other companies are lagging behind. If you have quite an old Android phone, it may have stopped receiving free security updates - a reason for you to consider upgrading to a newer supported handset.

Android users urged to 'immediately' download new security update
As Android delivered an upgrade last month to help block hackers, it is important to keep on top of your phone's security. Google is urging everyone with an Android phone to make sure they have downloaded the latest software update to ensure their device is fully protected. This comes after the tech company released its monthly security bulletin. When it comes to updates for Android devices, Google Pixel phones generally get sent the alert first, meaning owners of these phones will be protected first if any glitches happen that could let hackers in. This happened last month as Google released security upgrades for their devices that fixed a major vulnerability in their software, reports the Express. This issue could have been easily exploited by hackers, which would have left many phone owners vulnerable to malicious attacks. While this is not the case this month, it is important to technology users to make sure that their devices are up to date with the latest upgrades to ward off any potential harm. Adam Boynton, senior security strategy manager EMEIA at security firm Jamf, said: "Although the latest Android security bulletin does not list any vulnerabilities currently known to be under exploitation, we still strongly recommend that Android users update their devices immediately. "The majority of the fixes are within the Android framework, which provides the foundation for building Android applications and is therefore an attractive target for cybercriminals. Exploiting the most severe vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain elevated access and administrative rights." While all the jargon around security updates for phones can be a bit confusing, essentially if you do not update your phone to the latest software and security, you will be more open to being attacked by cyber criminals. While Google releases the updates for free, it is up to the other Android manufacturers to inform their customers of the latest updates. Although it can sometimes take longer to push the updates to the latest devices, Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Honor, Xiaomi and other brands all have the means to update your phone. Thankfully, Android firms are getting better at supporting their phones for longer, with Google, Honor and Samsung all offering seven years of updates for their latest phones. However, not every company is meeting this standard. For those with an older Android phone, it may have already stopped receiving free security updates. If this applies to you and you are worried about your device being hacked, this may be a good motivator to upgrade your smartphone to a newer, shinier model. Boynton added: "There are four vulnerabilities located within the Android system component, caused by improper input validation. "CVE-2025-26453, CVE-2025-26445, and CVE-2025-26441 could allow a local application to gain access to sensitive information, while exploitation of CVE-2025-26443 could allow a local application to execute arbitrary code. "The release provides a window of opportunity to get ahead of cybercriminals; it appears that none of the vulnerabilities addressed in the June security bulletin have yet to be exploited in the wild, making this the perfect time to patch all supported devices." This means that Google was able to get ahead of cyber crooks by providing the June update. However, this will only work if users update their device - if they don't they are leaving themselves vulnerable to future hacks. While it is easier to set your phone to automatically update, phone users can check if they have an update pending by going to the Settings app and checking for system updates. If this new update is not there, keep checking throughout the month to heighten the security of your beloved device. However, if the update doesn't appear, this would suggest that your device is no longer compatible with free upgrades. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
