Misleading title? “Reddit claimed…”, no, others claimed, reddit has not commented
Can be read as either “Reddit has claimed” or “Reddit was claimed”, but “and it has threatened” clarifies it is not the former.
It’s not misleading it’s just written in a passive voice.
If you read the whole sentence it’s fairly clear that BlackCat is the subject that is doing the claiming. There’s room for making it more clear but it’s not misleading as written.
Yeah, I wouldn’t call it misleading, but it’s poorly written for sure. Active voice would be clearer and more succinct, e.g. “BlackCat claims to have hacked Reddit, threatens to leak data”
My guess is op (or whoever wrote the title) wanted “reddit” to come first to grab people’s attention. Definitely poorly written though.
I doubt they actually have been. I suspect this is the excuse they’re going to use to enforce normalcy t oreturn. ‘Oh all those subs? that was a psyop from blackcat. We de-platformed their mods to ensure that any influince is gone.’

But seriously. paranoia is a bullshit disease.deleted by creator
How fun that they were going to wait for the IPO before leaking the data but decided now was a better opportunity, and that they’ve added rolling back the API pricing change to their ransom demands.
I think this does more good for reddit than bad, makes the community look unhinged
Sure but unhinged users don’t look good to investors. Imagine if a place like 4chan tried to IPO?
