This post cannot be taken seriously because:

1. You didn't cite any sources to your claims.

2. The author didn't even reveal his identity (posting under the author name of "news")

3. Self proclamations like this "ArabCrunch is an independent media, an alternative to the lies of mainstream media." don't help you at all.

tldr: I'm adding this website to my blacklist.

PickToRead is a minimalistic and intuitive news reader.

So far it's just text on an annoying background. And if you're going to use a one then make sure the color of the text and the background don't match.[1]

PickToRead changes the way that you read the news online by saving your time and letting you communicate with the people whom you choose.

It doesn't save me time if it requires me to register just to read an article.

Can you provide details on how the exploit works? Even in Arabic as am pretty sure someone will be able to provide a good enough translation for us.

All you need to be on the front page these days is to mention the NSA or PRISM.

And security breaches take time (> 2 days) to properly investigate and report.

We can see that they did their job correctly by the overwhelming amount of details they provided us with.

Transparency? After 3 days? Transparency would be telling us right away (with an update as soon as they know more). They should also tell us what kind of info was taken and what does sensitive information mean to them since they don't seem to be sure about that.

Sensitive personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed, however, we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers’ names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may have been accessed.

Edit: and seriously, what does this "updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database" mean?

Please, this is HN after all! I would expect most of the guys and gals here to know about tools such as isup.me or other similar tools. I don't think we need a post for every other website that goes offline.
