Well? Should they? Let’s ask Ian Betteridge.

Four weeks ago, #Google admitted it was hacked by #ShinyHunters and/or #ScatteredSpider—via #vishing. Sadly, this sparked a journalistic game of Telephone: Over the space of four weeks, “This #Salesforce instance got vished,” quickly became, “2.5 billion #Gmail users hacked!!1!”

Sigh. “This is entirely false,” complains Google. In #SBBlogwatch, we bait for clicks during dog days.
