Wow, they are telling the truth for a change.

Another one. I think something is going to come out soon and the clowns are trying to get ahead of it. This article seems like a way for them to, "explain," some things, like leaks akin to wikileaks.
'Hundreds of millions of people' may have had their text messages exposed online, researchers say

TechCrunch involved in both stories. Hmm.

TechCrunch
TechCrunch is an American online publisher focusing on the tech industry. The company specifically reports on the business related to tech, technology news, analysis of emerging trends in tech, and profiling of new tech businesses and products. It was one of the earliest publications to report extensively on tech startups and funding.
TechCrunch was founded in June 2005 by Archimedes Ventures, led by partners Michael Arrington and Keith Teare.[3] In 2010, AOL acquired the company for approximately $25 million.[4][3]
TechCrunch Disrupt
First held in 2011 in Beijing,[5] TechCrunch Disrupt is an annual tech conference hosted by TechCrunch in San Francisco,[6] New York City,[7] and Europe (London or Berlin).[8]
TechCrunch Disrupt hosts an event called Startup Battlefield at its conferences where startups sign up to pitch their business ideas on a stage in front of venture capital investors, media and other interested parties for prize money and publicity. Past participants include Dropbox,[9] Beam,[10] Vurb,[11] Trello,[12] Mint,[13] Yammer,[14] and Crate.io.[15]
Crunchbase
From 2007 to 2015, TechCrunch operated Crunchbase, a database of the startup ecosystem, consisting of investors, incubators, start-ups, key people, funds, funding rounds and events.[citation needed] The company claims to have more than 50,000 active contributors on its platform.[16] Subject to registration, members of the public can make submissions to the database; however, all changes are subject to review by a moderator before being accepted.[citation needed]
In 2013, Crunchbase claimed to have 2 million users accessing its database each month.[17]
AOL is in dispute with start-up Pro Populi over that group's use of the entire Crunchbase dataset in apps that Pro Populi has developed, one of which is known as People+. Pro Populi is being represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[18]
In 2015, Crunchbase spun out of AOL/Verizon/TechCrunch to become a private entity, and is no longer a part of TechCrunch.[19]
