It's quite quite how the media invent new terms, to make it seem sensational!

When MtGox suffered a ddos-attack recently, many media sources reported it as a 'hacking attack' that made the price plummet 20%.

Try to say that out loud in a very serious news-anchor type of voice: 'HAAACKING ATTTTTACKKKK!'

LOL

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
