A bunch of "hackers hacked" stories in my timeline today.
Reminder: the more you (journalists and editors working at media companies) misuse the h-word to make your story sound 👻 scary 👻, the more you entrench the idea that the problem with security of our day to day devices is that there exist people who have technical skills and are able to break into them – rather than the fact that their manufacturers don't give a crap about security, making that easy.
And the less secure we all become.
