Why change the title? This is extremely misleading. The article states " We analyze what happened and why the attack demonstrates that Signal is reliable."

Extremely confusing how? I copied the first sentence in the "title" box, then the first two sentences in the "description" box, and the article again starts with those two...

Also the attack demonstrates that they could not do much, but still they got access to some accounts, which I believe qualifies for "some people where victim of an attack". Or does it need to end badly for the title to be allowed to say that there was an attack?

EDIT: sorry, I actually had missed the title and copied the first sentence. Fixed!
