A cautionary slide from #defcon on attribution of hacks.

Lessons that seem lost on media outlets that repeat attributions in headlines but leave equivocation on attributions buried in text.

You have to go as far as I would: “Known Liars and Putin Haters Attribute Hack to Russia.”

But a “liar as source” alert at the beginning of an article, would give readers a shot at forming a considered option of a parroted tale from agency sources.
