Pushbullet Channel Has Been Compromised

  • If Pushbullet is designed to announce changes to Wikipedia pages, then it hasn't been compromised - it's working exactly as intended. The real question is, should people be relying on Wikipedia - which any random person (or troll) can edit - as a source of actionable information?

    If I were interested in the latest news about which companies Google had acquired, I'd be crawling Google's Investor Relations pages, not Wikipedia.
