RE: Dao hackers still at large, hackers now targeting Steemit community?, could this be the same hackers? Steemit developers have some security issues to improve

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Sure it could be them, but it COULD BE ANYONE... but what you've done here is deliberately make an implication that it was the DAO hacker by posing it as a question. This is called Betteridge's Law of Headlines and it is a very sloppy and disingenuous journalism tactic:

For example, I could write a headline as the following: "Could @acassity be the Steem hacker?"

Of course, I have absolutely zero evidence of this but you could be the hacker right? Hopefully this illustrates the point about this style of headline writing to be very misleading.
