A phishing attack managed to fool Troy Hunt into handing over MailChimp credentials.
  • A jetlagged Troy Hunt accidentally clicked a link and logged into an account only to realise he had been phished.
  • Despite reacting quickly, attackers were able to export a mailing list for Hunt’s personal blog.
  • Hunt has detailed the attack and warned his subscribers in a timely fashion.

    Headlines are generally pretty flexible with grammar, because a good headline is supposed to be terse.

    I think it’s fine.

      I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they’re generally still grammatically sound.

      I think “HackerNews owner hacked” would be a headline, rather than “HackerNews owner, hacked”.

      “Have I Been Pwned owner pwned” seems to be on par with “Headline English” to me
