VirusTotal seems to be generating more false positives lately. Seems like they’re adding some poorly written heuristics. We’ve seen problems with false reports of things being infected like our own products.
It's not crying wolf to ask the question (yes, leading questions can be used that way, but they are clearly asking here, not trying to imply), they presented the thing that concerned them to get eyes on it and find out if it was a problem, that seems reasonable.
This is a news aggregator, not a help desk. It's perfectly fair to characterize submitting such entry as "crying wolf", even when it's formulated as a question. When I browse my RSS feed from HN, I expect the items to have at least some minimal substance.
