Remember that first dump went unnoticed for a couple of days because they simply tweeted it at WIRED and other publications main accounts

It's the right target. It is very very hard to get non-tech media to cover this; first needs tech media coverage.

There is a huge, gaping reporter hole in traditional media on this--very hard for them to go in and straight-out cover it. No expertise.

Mistake they made is to tweet at "Wired" which is a non-person account. Needed to tweet at individual reporters. Think they do now?
