Now change internet passwords 'every two months'
Warnings issued after a boom in the illegal trade in personal data

Criminals gathered more information by using fake Internet "hot spots" and carefully disguised email and website scams, fraud experts said.

The hotspot had been disguised as a "free" wife connection, luring in mobile phone and tablet users.

Interesting thought, but I think that should read: a "free" wi-fi connection

Όχι = No, but if you are ordering food it can mean "without", Maarm, although χωρίς is better Greek (e.g. Θα ήθελα μια χωριάτικη χωρίς φέτα).  Have a look at:

for more details on why 28 October is a national holiday in Greece.  Paradoxically, Greeks say Ναι quite a lot on Όχι Day - ναι to a lie-in, ναι to coffee out with friends, ναι to having lunch out, ναι to not working (a favourite) and ναι to parades...  :oki:
