Looking around, this appears to be a hobbyist news and discussion site. Here's the news portion:

Even if this were the New York Times talking about an exploit, I'd expect their reporters to, well, report, not necessarily directly verify something themselves. And this is quite clear that it's unconfirmed. What he does do is report what the developer is saying, adding sufficient context for non-experts to understand, and giving links so those interested can learn more. Presumably once it's verified, there will be another article saying so.

Given that, it seems like perfectly fine amateur journalism. Why do you expect it to be something else?
