So I know it's confirmed false, but I wanted to take the opportunity to ask how you good folks stay in the know about critical/time sensitive compromises like this was believed to be?

Dunno if other people have a faster way of finding out about potential data breaches, but for me, the original Bleeping Computer article about this showed up on my newsfeed and that’s how I found out about it, followed a few hours later by other sites parroting the same news while quoting the BC article. It wasn’t till I saw this post that I learned this breach is a fake though. So, I’d say just keep an eye on your newsfeed and if you see something there, check any tech news social media communities you’re a part of for the same news and for further details.
