this is just marketing

vice is selling sensationalism, and it's a far better story to pinpoint the hackers' lair on a map than to talk about real hacking. Real hacking comes from all over the world, including from governments and companies

norton is selling antivirus software, and it's in their interest to scare people instead of educate them

the funny thing is antiviruses don't really work against real hacking

understandint this better, it makes me wonder about news in general, how much do journalists care about the truth vs selling a story?
