Greece Offers Tax Evasion Whistleblowers Bonuses Up to 3,000 Euros

Nothing has worked to stop runaway tax evasion in Greece and now bonuses up to 3000 euros are being offered to whistleblowers who turn in businesses and professionals not giving receipts or ducking their obligations.

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is looking for tax cheats who don’t give receipts that are required, or using Point of Service (POS) machines that the agency can use to track the flow of money.

But some professionals, including doctors and lawyers and service businesses like auto repair shops as well as plumbers and handymen and contractors offer costumes lower prices if they don’t ask for receipts and say their POS machines or Internet isn’t working to prevent giving them.

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.

Today's update was immediately available when BleepingComputer checked for new updates.
