Does it end with "The Times was initially put in touch with the hackers by a security researcher in California"? There was no information whatsoever

> The Times was initially put in touch with the hackers by a security researcher in California, Haseeb Awan, who was communicating with them because, he said, a number of them had previously targeted him and a Bitcoin-related company he once owned. They also unsuccessfully targeted his current company...

I'm not sure what you mean. The story continues after that point. Maybe you hit the paywall?

You are right, what did we just read? Imagine reading this 50 years from today. Once upon a time, there used to be stories like the sinking of the Titanic, now there are mentions of "lol" and "Kirk".
