Reporting on security issues is always so terrible. Is it a data breach or is it a DDoS? (Or both). Those are opposite things. One is trying to release secret information one is trying to make the site inaccessible.
- Aachen 2y agoThat's like complaining the reporting on the weather forecast channel is so often wrong. This news broke about an hour ago and the IA is down, what witchcraft do you expect news media to practice! Nobody yet has the answers you're looking for, give it some time and log files will be audited and the reporting becomes useful :)
- bawolff 2y agoActually figure out what is happening, or at least say how confident they are in what they know. They aren't predicting the future, they are reporting on an ongoing event.
- Aachen 2y ago> or at least say how confident they are in what they know This I can very much underwrite. Error bars or rough confidence indicators are missing far too often, also from sites reporting on e.g. benchmark values of hardware they've been testing... such professional organisations yet such basic omissions
- odo1242 2y agoIt is both. They got attacked by a DDOS after the security breach.
- treesknees 2y agoWhich is pretty common. While the org is running around dealing with the DDoS, they're not doing anything to fix their systems. In this case, I can't even get to my account page on IA to change my password.
