While I probably would have linked HN to the slides instead of the site, I do think calling it an attack site is paranoid and disingenuous.

Does the term "example attack site" not mollify that a bit? I tried to be clear that its not a real attack site (or my comment we be much more alarming) but something that executed malicious behavior, even if it wasnt from a malicious actor.

Wasnt looking to castigate the author, just looking for a title with a warning.
