#102Reporting 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.

That's a strange thing to read on Hacker news. Isn't that description the definition of hack value? As in http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hack-value.html Now, it depends what the "it" is referring to here, but so far all I've heard is about an alert() message saying the usernames will be sent to a breach alerting site.

Seems like a job by Israel or supporting countries pretending to be supporters of Palestine.
What is the connection? I don’t understand how this would help either Isreal or Palestine?

Actually 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.
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
