In 2021 werd de ouderbijdrage voor scholen vrijwillig. Nu hebben veel scholen minder geld en schrappen activiteiten – vooral scholen met leerlingen uit gezinnen met geldzorgen. Onderzoekers stellen dat dit kansengelijkheid ondermijnt. Staatssecretaris Judith Tielen (VVD) gaat woensdag in debat met de Tweede Kamer.

Het middel dat in hogere dosering ook in de abortuspil wordt gebruikt, zou als hormoonloze anticonceptiepil kunnen werken. Nu blijkt in een studie dat met dat middel te veel vrouwen toch zwanger raken, of een buitenbaarmoederlijke zwangerschap krijgen.

With an extra weekend between the Canadian and Monaco Grand Prix, here’s a recap of everything the F1 drivers have been up to.

McLaren are set to celebrate their 1000th F1 race at this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix – marking another milestone in the team’s journey that started in the 1960s with founder Bruce McLaren. Here, F1.com gathers some of the standout statistics that show just how storied and successful a run it has been…

“Als je op het perron staat en er komt een trein voorbij en de deur gaat open, dan kun je twee dingen doen. Ik stap in of ik wacht op de volgende trein die misschien nooit komen zal”, zegt Robert Simons. De havenwethouder van Leefbaar Rotterdam stapt uit het college en is vanaf donderdag wethouder in Maassluis voor Leefbaar Maessluys.

Microsoft has moved to calm an increasingly noisy backlash from the security community after appearing to threaten legal action against a researcher who spent the past several weeks dumping Windows zero-days onto the internet. In a statement published on Monday, Redmond said it has "no intention to pursue action against individuals conducting or publishing security research”, a noticeably softer position than the one it adopted just days earlier when it condemned a string of public vulnerability disclosures and invoked its Digital Crimes Unit. The updated statement follows a public feud with a researcher known as Nightmare-Eclipse, who released multiple Windows zero-days along with proof-of-concept exploit code. Several of those vulnerabilities have since been exploited in the wild, turning what might have remained an obscure disclosure dispute into a much larger argument about how vendors handle security researchers. Last week, Microsoft described the publication of exploit code for unpatched flaws as "never justifiable" and warned it would work with law enforcement when criminal activity harmed customers. The statement triggered immediate criticism from parts of the security community, with researchers warning that the language risked creating a chilling effect around vulnerability research. Former Microsoft employee and security researcher Kevin Beaumont described the company's position as a "dumpster fire of its own making," while Luta Security founder Katie Moussouris, who created Microsoft's bug bounty program, told The Register the response sent mixed messages. She questioned Microsoft's decision to tout researcher compensation and recognition while responding to a researcher who claims he received neither, and argued that references to the Digital Crimes Unit made the post feel "vaguely threatening." She added that, regardless of the specifics of the dispute, Microsoft risked creating a chilling effect on other researchers considering whether to report vulnerabilities. What’s more, if Microsoft's goal was to isolate Nightmare-Eclipse, that may not be going entirely to plan. The researcher claimed over the weekend that other researchers had begun handing over vulnerabilities following Microsoft's response, including an alleged flaw dubbed "Bitskrieg" that breaks Secure Boot trust guarantees and bypasses BitLocker. Nightmare-Ecipse said the bug will be released “sometime in June”. Against that backdrop, Microsoft's Monday message read more like damage control than deterrence. "We have no intention to pursue action against individuals conducting or publishing their security research," Microsoft said, adding that legal referrals would be reserved for people engaging in malicious activity that causes harm to customers. The company also acknowledged that "some interactions have fallen short" and said it was working to learn from feedback. Notably, Microsoft stopped well short of conceding any of Nightmare-Eclipse's specific allegations. The researcher had accused Microsoft of deleting accounts used for vulnerability reporting, refusing to pay bounties, and mishandling communications through the Microsoft Security Response Center. The company has not publicly addressed those claims directly. Nobody should mistake Monday's statement for a sudden conversion to the church of full disclosure. Microsoft remains firmly of the view that researchers should report vulnerabilities privately, give vendors time to fix them, and avoid dropping working exploit code onto the internet for everyone else to play with. The problem for Redmond was that the argument had drifted well beyond the actions of one researcher. What began as a dispute over a string of Windows zero-day releases was rapidly turning into a debate about Microsoft's relationship with the security community and whether the company was comfortable invoking lawyers when that relationship soured. The updated statement looks very much like an attempt to slam the brakes on that narrative. ®

The FSB said the cyber operation was orchestrated by Western intelligence agencies and major tech companies to secretly hack and spy on the smartphones of high-ranking Russian officials.

Tata Steel dacht met Donald Pols een mooie groene laklaag binnen te halen: ex-Milieudefensie, en meteen directeur duurzaamheid én communicatie, zodat de giftige rookpluim voortaan netjes in een persbericht kon worden weggepoetst. Zijn eigen milieuclub nam per direct afstand van hem toen hij bij een van de grootste vervuilers van Nederland aanschoof, maar die groene geloofwaardigheid was natuurlijk het hele verkoopargument. De laklaag bladderde dus al vóór dag één. Een milieuactivist inhuren als luchtverfrisser voor de hoogovens, dat kan bijna niet goed gaan.

En goed ging het inderdaad niet, maar wel op een compleet andere manier: Pols blijkt na één dag alweer weg bij Tata Steel, wegens verzwegen informatie over zijn extreemrechtse verleden. Volgens NRC was hij in zijn studententijd voorman van een extreemrechtse studentenbeweging die voor, ja voor, apartheid streed; Tata zegt dat die informatie nooit met het bedrijf is gedeeld.

En zo werd de man die Tata van binnenuit moest vergroenen, of eh greenwashen, vooral een lesje achtergrondonderzoek, voor Tata zelf. Binnengehaald als groen boegbeeld, weer afgevoerd voordat de koffieautomaat zijn naam kende. Mooi circulair, dat wel. En ‘schadenfreude’ heeft er met ‘Donald Pols’ een nieuw synoniem bij.
