This is not the right community for this post.
Better suited for e.g., reddit@lemmy.ml (but I think it’s already posted there).
Sorry about that,I am still learning my way around the federated universe :)
Misleading title? “Reddit claimed…”, no, others claimed, reddit has not commented
It’s not misleading it’s just written in a passive voice.
If you read the whole sentence it’s fairly clear that BlackCat is the subject that is doing the claiming. There’s room for making it more clear but it’s not misleading as written.
Yeah, I wouldn’t call it misleading, but it’s poorly written for sure. Active voice would be clearer and more succinct, e.g. “BlackCat claims to have hacked Reddit, threatens to leak data”
How fun that they were going to wait for the IPO before leaking the data but decided now was a better opportunity, and that they’ve added rolling back the API pricing change to their ransom demands.
Leak what data? 80GB of cat reposts? TikTok videos? Unless it’s pictures of spez fucking farm animals (real ones, not the memes and AI versions people post) it’s not going to matter. Actually, scratch that - it still won’t matter.
