The vulnerability existed because Secure Folder was implemented as a “work profile,” which key system components didn’t recognize as a highly secure space. One UI 8 reclassifies Secure Folder as a “private” profile, ensuring system apps now correctly hide its sensitive files and app information from view. Samsung’s Secure Fo

I’m flying from London to St. Tropez with the private aviation company Wheels Up, and for the first time in my life, I don’t want a flight to end. Once you’ve go
