They changed the title and I think more...
How do I get a job as a reporter at ZDnet. I can whip through websites, and when I find an interesting tidbit, write it as an article. Then if ever I'm proven wrong, just change it to match what the users in the talkback found out.
The title "Mac users face rare virus", quickly got changed to "Mac users face rare threat." I think some of the wording of the article changed also, but I can't swear to it. I don't know if this is how good journalism should be practiced. While I'll acknowledge that there can be mistakes, this is getting to be commonplace at zdnet.
