On vacation: minimal mode enabled

I'm currently on vacation with my family in beautiful Greece, and want to make the most of my time here with them.
But I didn't want to leave you out of sync with the security world, so I selected the stories that jumped out, just with a little less filtering and summarising. The result is a bit rougher, but I hope you still get value out of it :-)

Cheers!
