Did any one else find the style of writing in this article really annoying? Things like using prefacing statements with "so-called" or putting terms in quotes to make them seem suspect.

e.g.s:

a so-called distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack

York said Dyn was “actively” dealing with a “third wave” of the attack.

I tend to assume that the larger publications use it in the underlying sense of "..as it is so called".
