Google patches third exploited Chrome zero-day in a week
Google has released a new emergency Chrome security update to address the third zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks within a week.
The company fixed the zero-day flaw with the release of 125.0.6422.60/.61 for Mac/Windows and 125.0.6422.60 (Linux). The new versions will roll out to all users in the Stable Desktop channel over the coming weeks.
Chrome updates automatically when security patches are available. However, users can also confirm they're running the latest version by going to Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome, letting the update finish, and then clicking on the 'Relaunch' button to install it.
Today's update was immediately available when BleepingComputer checked for new updates. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-patches-third-exploited-chrome-zero-day-in-a-week/

Greece: Dead Woman Found in Middle of Street North of Athens

Locals in the working-class suburb of Menidi, located north of Athens, woke up to sirens today after a passerby contacted police to inform them that the body of a dead woman was in the middle of the street.
The woman is estimated to be 40 years of age, and while not much more information is available at this time, reports at MEGA TV say that the woman appears to have been stabbed to death and that a knife has been found at the scene.
https://www.tovima.com/society/greece-dead-woman-found-in-middle-of-street-north-of-athens/The initial investigation into the stabbing of a woman in Menidi, east Attica, on Thursday morning indicate that the victim was killed by her former husband, according to police sources.
The 40-year-old victim had filed three complaints of domestic violence against her former partner and authorities are looking or him, the same sources said. The first complaint was made in April 2013, the second in September 2022 and the third on May 7 this year, at the police station of Peristeri. Following her last complaint, her ex-husband was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. He was due in court this Friday.
According to the same sources, the victim had also installed the panic button application for women at risk of domestic abuse. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1238901/femicide-suspected-in-menidi-stabbing/

Greek fire service gets quite a few mentions during the summer but this one's a little different (they don't just fight fires!) - on Monday the fire department at Krestana were called out to rescue a Eurasian eagle-owl that was found injured in the yard of a house in Makrisia. As the piccie shows, they're a fair size.

Albania installs British-funded cameras along its border to stem flow of migrants, criminal gangs
Albania has installed a “sophisticated” network of cameras along its border with Kosovo, supplied by the British government in an attempt to stem the number of migrants flowing into the United Kingdom and to track criminal activity in the region, the UK home office said Wednesday.
Albanian nationals were among the 45,000 people who arrived in the UK in speedboats in 2022, looking for higher-paying jobs than neighboring countries such as Greece or Italy, according to British authorities and the Albanian local media. Many end up working in cannabis-growing houses for up to two years to pay back the trafficking money. https://www.ekathimerini.com/politics/foreign-policy/1238843/albania-installs-british-funded-cameras-along-its-border-to-stem-flow-of-migrants-criminal-gangs/
