Connected toys have ‘worrying’ security issues

Consumer watchdog Which? has called on retailers to stop selling some popular toys it says have "proven" security issues.

Those toys include Furby Connect, the i-Que robot, Cloudpets and Toy-fi Teddy.

Which? found that there was no authentication required between the toys and the devices they could link with via Bluetooth.

The lack of authentication meant that, in theory, any device within physical range could link to the toy and take control or send messages, the watchdog said.

Greece: Τhe Mediterranean Paradise Where Unemployed People Have To Survive On 200 Euros

Jenny, the -28 year- old girl, was fired in October 2016 and since then she has been living on the unemployment allowance of 360 euros per month. It is the basic unemployment benefit that is given for one year. If the year passes and the person is still unemployed, he/she will receive an even lower rate of 200 euros monthly.

New adoption law in Greece

The Labour Ministry has drafted a bill to streamline the complicated adoption process

Labour Ministry... adoption... I'm sure there's a gag there somewhere - but it's probably very un-PC.

Greece takes action on 3 iconic bird species

In a landmark first for Greece, three Species Action Plans (SAPs) to protect three iconic bird species have been adopted by the government in Athens. The long-awaited National Action Plans for the Egyptian Vulture and the Lesser White-fronted Goose – as well as the Regional Action Plan for the Lesser Kestrel in Thessaly, central Greece – describe very clearly the necessary actions that must be taken in Greece in order to safeguard these iconic species over the next five years. All three species are listed in the Red Data Book of Endangered Species of Greece and are strictly protected by national and European legislation, as well as by international conventions.
