An entire state’s population just had its data stolen in a ransomware attack::The attack impacts about 1.3 million people.
I think Mashable needs to talk to their own InfoSec team for an education… Stealing data and ransomware are not the same thing.

“Maine” is a lot shorter than “an entire state.”
I hate this “obscure the most relevant information for clicks” shit.

They probably assumed people would know which state they’re talking about. Classic Maine character syndrome.

At least they didn’t divide it up into a slideshow, with two lines of the article per slide. I’ve been seeing a ton of those lately.

Maine hardly counts as “an entire state” by population anyway! 1.3 million? Oooooh, that’s like… San Diego!

And yet it’s still more than 2 Wyomings

The amount of people doesn’t define what a state is.

To be fair, “an entire x” does have markedly different meaning than “x”. The emphasis is that it’s, well, the entirety of x. It’s the difference between “i ate the cereal” and “i ate all the cereal”.

They could have easily fit “the entire state of Maine”.
