Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify: we were the first to link to the ChannelNews article, hours before your coverage appeared. Our story brought this leak to wider attention, with context and details that weren’t available elsewhere at the time.

The issue isn’t whether the source was public — it’s that your writer has repeatedly followed our reporting and published similar articles without attribution. This has been happening multiple times per week, following a very clear pattern.

As for the nofollow remark — attribution is not about passing SEO value, it’s about professional courtesy. Unfortunately, we have become used to this kind of behavior from low-ranked websites looking to ride the work of others. It’s disappointing to see it coming from a publication like yours. We stand by the footnote and will continue to highlight cases like this when they occur.
