I don't think major hacker sites getting hacked, or the MSE exploit from a few months ago qualifies as "sensationalism". These, especially the latter, are a Pretty Big Deal (tm).
What do you consider a big news item that isn't "sensationalism"? (Your link timed-out)

But it's the "we can get clicks by reporting more of these" that most folks notice, rather than the reporting being in lockstep with the number of hacks being perpetrated every month/week/day for the last 4 years.
