Facebook caught asking users for the passwords to their email accounts

Facebook has been caught asking new users for the passwords for their email accounts in order to verify their accounts.

The social media company said it would stop the practice after cybersecurity experts condemned it as "horrible" and "beyond sketchy".

Some useful information from wageindicator.org: Work & Wages in Greece

e.g. "Workers in Greece are entitled to 14-month pay in a year. This includes normal 12-month pay, one-month pay as a Christmas bonus; half a month pay as an Easter bonus; and half a month pay as an annual holiday bonus."

EU Commission backs almost 1 billion euro post-bailout grant to Greece

The European Commission recommended on Wednesday the disbursement of nearly 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) in a grant to Greece as EU Commission backs almost 1 billion euro post-bailout grant to Greecepart of its post-bailout program after Athens passed reforms required by creditors.

The move, that needs to be endorsed by eurozone finance ministers at their meeting on Friday, will boost Greece’s already large cash buffers and make it easier for the country borrow at more favorable rates when it returns to full market financing after years of financial support from EU creditors and the International Monetary Fund.

Greece exited its last bailout in August.
