Thank you for pointing this out.
The title was changed from "AirBnB: Crimes committed against a host" to "Violated: A traveler's lost faith, a difficult lesson learned" As you noted, this matches the title of the story on the blog.

"You can make up a new title if you want, but if you put gratuitous editorial spin on it, the editors may rewrite it."
- wensing 15y agoIronically "AirBnB: Crimes committed against a host" reads much more factually than the original title, which is much more editorial in nature. Compare: "Reggie Bush: Joins the Miami Dolphins" vs. "Signed: A football player's sincere belief, a hefty contract earned". In the context of HN I much prefer the non-original title.
