The title here on HN misses a really important word: "Project"
The title at the Intercept is:
"NYU ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED MILITARY CODE-BREAKING COMPUTER PROJECT TO ENTIRE INTERNET" (their caps)
The computer itself wasn't connected to the Internet, a backup drive was.
edit: title was updated
- grzm 9y agoThe title was likely shortened by the submitter due to the 80-char length limit on HN. If you believe the submitted title is inappropriate for HN, please contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer. The Intercept uses uppercase for all titles. This isn't emphasis, it's style. No need to carry that forward here.
- strictnein 9y agoMany people comment here without reading the article, based solely on the title, so discussing the fact that it's inaccurate seems to be pretty pertinent. > The Intercept uses uppercase for all titles. This isn't emphasis, it's style. No need to carry that forward here. I didn't say it should be. I was explaining why the text I had posted was in all caps.
- grzm 9y ago> Many people comment here without reading the article, based solely on the title, so discussing the fact that it's inaccurate seems to be pretty pertinent. Indeed. Go a step further: don't just discuss it; get it fixed. The mods are very responsive in my experience. Help make HN better. Each of us plays a role in curating HN.

- eganist 9y agoWas it? Title still reads "NYU Accidentally Exposed Military Code-Breaking Computer" It should in its condensed form read "NYU Accidentally Exposed Military Code-Breaking Project"
