[–] iask 9y ago ↗ Is there a reason why "Indian" was added to the headline? I don't think color makes a hacker any different...does it? [–] danielvf 9y ago ↗ I belive it's written by an Indian news source, which is why the original article included it in their headline.It like when someone from your hometown does something newsworthy elsewhere - the local headlines will read "Man from HOMETOWN does $THING" [–] redrummr 9y ago ↗ Why does the colour matter?
