The BBC is blog spam yes. It quotes Kreb's article, which happens to be almost exactly the same, except BBC removed links to the advisory, etc.
Edit: in response to TazeTSchnitzel to whom I cannot reply. If BBC included a link to the original post or the actual security advisory I would be less likely to call it blog spam, but I stand by my classification. It is a repost without the sources and with less information (notably a warning to users about the McAfee opt out among other things).
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoIt's not blog spam. That would be needless, spammy content duplication to the same audience. But the BBC has a much wider audience than Krebs.
- tokenizerrr 11y ago> in response to TazeTSchnitzel to whom I cannot reply If you ever cannot reply to a post try clicking the "X minutes ago" link and usually the reply link will then show.
- DonHopkins 11y agoHa ha, thanks! I've had that problem too. Is that a bug or a feature? How does it work: does it make me travel back in time to before the reply window expired?
- TallGuyShort 11y agoIt actually transports you forward in time. To discourage deeply nested flame wars, there's a waiting period before the reply link appears that grows with the thread.
