Eleven new coronavirus cases confirmed on Kefalonia yesterday by EODY, one on Ithaka

Today’s bank rates:

1 €UR = $ 1.1061 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1346 €UR
$1 USD = 0.9041 €UR

Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, these are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.
Banks and foreign exchange offices normally charge standard 2% commission.
You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the Post Office.
NB: some f-ex agencies advertise "No Commission".
Invariably, they deduct commission before they (don't) advertise the rate.
Foreign exchange offices are businesses, not charities.

--- Quote ---Poisoned CCleaner search results spread information-stealing malware

Malware that steals your passwords, credit cards, and crypto wallets is being promoted through search results for a pirated copy of the CCleaner Pro Windows optimization program.

This new malware distribution campaign is dubbed “FakeCrack,” and was discovered by analysts at Avast, who report detecting an average of 10,000 infection attempts every day.

The campaign is already widespread, and the infection rates are high, so avoid downloading cracked software from anywhere, even if the download sites rank high on Google Search.

--- Quote ---CNN Türk Openly Discusses A Turkish Invasion Of Greece

A Turkish political analyst openly spoke on CNN Türk about a military invasion of the Greek islands without even the slightest reaction from the presenter.

The latest typical example of the climate that has formed in Turkey is the analysis of Hakan Bayrakçı on Greek-Turkish relations, who – in front of the map of Greece – proposed that Turkey occupy “some Greek islands” so that “the politics of Greece and the USA will collapse.”
