I don't really consider those 'mainstream news', I've only heard of zdnet - I thought boingboing was a public WiFi hotspot provider.

I primarily mean newspapers. The Times (of London & New York), The Guardian, but Bloomberg too.

The story is probably a wider point about the fragility of online information, for which this is a mere significant event, but without that happening I just don't see the give-a-shit count increasing.
