I am asking if any journalists, many of whom are active on social media and forums like this, with the resources and access have gotten independent confirmation and, perhaps, written about it for their publications, yes.

edit: I don't know why this is so vexing to sections of the YCombinatorati.

bonus edit after a reply since I'm rate limited for a while: IME people here are happy to share articles when people ask if there's more info. Hackers, at least a broad subset who loosely identify with the principles, love to share knowledge. Some even to the point of exfiltrating it! It's almost a defining characteristic.

That's why this is so vexing!

It's just an interesting take. Most people would go "I'll go find more new articles" instead of hoping that one comes by and falls into their lap.
