What do Aspirin, Escalator and Thermos have in common?

They all used to be trademarked!

That's before they became all too commonly used by the average person, also known as "brand genericide."

The result? The trademarks ended up being revoked by law.

Emaad and Ryan elaborate on this edition of Breakfast Bites!

Breakfast Quiz: Goodbye! We take a walk down memory lane with Ryan

Cyberattacks have come a long way,  from nuisance malware a decade ago to highly coordinated operations powered by artificial intelligence. Today, attackers can automate ransomware campaigns, scan for vulnerable systems at scale, and even mimic human behaviour to slip past security checks. For many businesses, especially SMEs, the risks are no longer theoretical but immediate and costly.

In this episode of Morning Shot, the Breakfast Show speaks with Sebastian Phua, Head of Business Strategy at Delta Underwriting, who brings an “offense-informed” perspective shaped by hands-on experience as a Certified Ethical Hacker.
