You know that in the context of that title and the article compromised meant stolen and one of the definitions of 'to compromise' is to breach a security system. Regardless of what the article meant, it's obvious that your edit to the title was intended as vote bait. Otherwise there was no reason to change it as the change was obviously sensationalist.
- Terretta 16y agoActually, sensationalist theories aside, I typed in a headline on an iPad long after copying the URL to clipboard in a different app. The omission of the original author's weasel word was unintentional. No, I do not know that in that context it meant "stolen". That's not the conventional meaning. I stand by the assertion that compromised means compromised, and that information in that article makes it clear all accounts were compromised (had their security breached), while unknown which individual accounts were stolen.
