Media coverage is negative only because that's what people like to click on. I think government regulation will only legitimize it and bring it to the masses.

This very thread is about a negative. Would you rather they just ignore it?

Ignore? No. I found the story interesting myself & there's some nice discussion on here.

News would be boring if it wasn't for the negative stuff.

All I'm saying that one should always question the motives of the media & not necessarily conclude a general opinion just by reading a bunch of articles that landed on the front page.

As for the exploit itself, it's hard to believe that in this day and age XSS is still a problem despite so many solutions & fixes for it.

I'm not sure what is worse, the XSS or that the system allows transfer of assets without human intervention. Probably the latter, actually. Why would a coin system even allow that? That is, shall we say, not the best idea.
