Case of Andrei Pivovarov raises questions about how much control Cellebrite has over its own software
Russian authorities used tools from the Israeli company Cellebrite to break into the phone of a political prisoner, months after the company said it cancelled its contracts with Russia, an investigation by the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab research unit has found.
The case raises questions about how much control Cellebrite has over its own software, which allows users to easily break into phones and examine their contents. The tools are sold worldwide and widely used by police forces in the UK and the US.

For most golfers, the biggest hindrance they are likely to come across during a round is a strong gust of wind or getting their ball caught in a bunker. For golfers in County Durham, however, the obstacles that players have encountered are 3 metres long and covered in scales.
Two boa constrictors have been found on Blackwell Grange golf club in Darlington one week apart, with the first being found on 13 June during a children’s golf lesson when a 12-year-old girl’s shot landed directly on the snake.

Officiating has been under spotlight this season

DEN HAAG (ANP) - "We gaan nu nog niet kiezen voor een scenario", zegt staatssecretaris Jo-Annes de Bat over de mogelijkheden die er zijn voor de uitbreiding van industrie en energie rondom Moerdijk. In een bestuurlijk overleg volgende week wil hij "onderbouwen" waarom het recent toegevoegde scenario waarin het dorp behouden kan blijven, realistisch is. "Zodanig dat zij er ook vertrouwen in hebben, want we hebben de gemeente cruciaal hard nodig," zegt de CDA-bewindsman die verantwoordelijk is voor de energietransitie.
In die optie is minder ruimte nodig dan in twee andere schetsen van het gebied. Moerdijkers gaven woensdag nog aan dat ze dat scenario als ongeloofwaardig zien. De Tweede Kamer was ook verbaasd dat die optie ineens op tafel lag en zag dat het vooral voor meer onzekerheid bij inwoners zorgt.
De Tweede Kamer roept op tot duidelijkheid, die kan De Bat voorlopig niet geven. "We weten wat we moeten doen, dat is heel zorgvuldig stappen zetten. Zodat de onzekerheid bij een besluitvormingsmoment later ook echt weg is."
