>In short, ignoring them is the right way to go. HN sucks up to them instead and gives them exposure. Just sad, really.

It is a noteworthy news event when high profile sites are hacked, regardless of the perpetrators. There are a whole ton of people who use HN to follow tech news.



For now. Something that happens every day probably won't remain newsworthy for long.


So the best way to get them ignored is to increase their exposure? :P


And if we ignore them, they will go away?


As long as the sites are noteworthy and well-known, I think it will still be newsworthy even if it happens on a daily basis.


I'd even go so far as to say a daily streak gets more newsworthy the higher it gets. Have we ever seen a group in the past that hit this many companies in so short a time?
