This was one of the best things I’ve read on wired in a while. It’s a surprisingly excellent write up on the Mirai bot net and the events surrounding it. (The HN headline title is definitely more click bait than I’d like)

The HN headline currently says:

> The Mirai Botnet Was Part of a College Student Minecraft Scheme

How is this clickbait? All I can see is a summary of what happened. When people say "clickbait", I expect something like:

The title has been changed since I posted, and unfortunately I didn’t think ahead to save a copy of the original HN title. The current title is much more what I would have been expecting.
