How is it wrong? Their original website was taken offline by a (now former) developer, forcing them to change domains. Seems like the title is perfectly accurate.
It's confusing at the very least. "CyanogenMod [domain] taken offline by developer" vs "CyanogenMod [project] taken offline by developer"
edit: thanks to the mod that fixed it :)

The title was NOT sensationalist, and the change here is a loss of information. They aren't "transitioning" to a .org, their domain was stolen. the .com shouldn't be trusted at this point, as it has apparently been taken over by some rogue former-team-member. edit: thanks to the mod that fixed it :)
The change doesn't really lose information; almost everything in the original title was false. Perhaps a better title would be "cyanogenmod.com hijacked by rogue admin, transitions to cyanogenmod.org". But the usual policy here when changing titles is to change it to the original title of the article, which is what it is now.

It isn't terribly sensationalist. Indeed a former team member is holding the domain hostage, it's not a simple transition by any means.
Just reading the title, I was under the impression that CyanogenMod itself was no longer available from the developer, not just the website. I'm not sure if "sensationalist" is the right word, but, it wouldn't pass an editor's muster.
Again I don't think the title was meant to read that way, but yeah I agree that was not clear and the new title/direct link is much better.

While it's true that cyanogenmod.com going down may not serve a functional problem to most people but it is a pretty sad story. I have used Cyanogen on a couple phones and all my Android devices use the Clockwork recovery, which is an incredible tool. I don't know the specifics but I don't think anybody on the Cyanogen team was receiving money for their work. Granted, there are premium versions in the Play Store, but certainly nobody is getting rich of Cyanogen or clockwork.
The fact that somebody is screwing them over just to make a couple bucks seems pretty terrible to me. These guys do this for fun and for the good of the community (not to mention for the good of Google), so my heart really goes out to them. I hope you get everything sorted out and get everything back up.
There is a PayPal donation form at the bottom of their site. I have donated in the past when they have asked and I'm sure I will this time if they make an appeal to pay for legal fees.
Again, so sad to see this happen to such a great group of devs.
