The victims are developers and businesses, not ordinary people being deceived or defrauded in a scam or fraud scheme. It does not fit any item on a WRITE ONLY IF list that centres on ordinary consumers being deceived. It is closer to a corporate/enterprise security flaw story, which the rules explicitly exclude unless ordinary people are being deceived or defrauded — and the source does not show that.
