Microsoft isn't the only one negatively affected by false news. The consumer of the information is also negatively affected. Security workers need accurate information, not Outrage of the Day junk. It might turn out that the concerns raised in the article are valid but they don't have enough evidence at this time to raise those concerns. It just adds noise for the consumer of the information has to deal with. I don't really care about Microsoft somehow getting harmed. I do care about the IT worker whose job it is to protect their company's systems from security exploits. Dumping low quality possibly false information on them makes securing their systems more difficult. That's the real harm.
