The coincidence of several such articles is probably also caused by the fact that journalists have to earn a living, i.e. they have to cover the news. If the news happens to be that there's a vulnerability in X than it is reported by a number of news channels, each -- at best, although usually not -- trying to give it an original spin.
Take a totally unrelated example: if Bush visits the UK, then this will be reported by the BBC, but also by about every American channel and the majority of European ones. It will even be mentioned in passing in the rest of the world. Is this a conspiracy? I think not ;)
Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
