So I came across this headline in my news feed on my way into work just now and thought it was a weird thing g to cover even for a grossly left-slanted place like Wired: (note I am on mobile and cannot feasibly archive, if someone could do me a solid!)
https://www.wired.com/2017/02/7-great-burner-phones/
The tone is unmistakable to me, especially since I've basically had to stop reading Wired for actual tech news since November because their slant is so severe.
I'm bringing this to attention regarding PG specifically because this is important awareness in the coming days as more and more criminals involved in what were investigating here are brought down. This is a how-to for people that think "Passw0rd" is acceptable and it needs to be fought. They don't get free passes anymore.
We may not be able to call out to everyone reading this crap but the public needs to know that this happened before household names start going down in flames. This is to prompt a discussion on how we can come bat these obvious outlets from helping them cover their tracks.
Thanks all, keep digging.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but criminals have known about burners for awhile. They don't need a news article to explain it to them. Please delete yourself from the Internet before you hurt yourself.

I think you're getting the wrong end of the stick here... OP means that the MSM (i.e. Wired.com) is hinting that now is a good time to get a burner because normal lines simply aren't safe due to ongoing investigations.. They are shutting up shop.. Whether it's in time; we're yet to see...

*"I think you're getting the wrong end of the stick here..."
Whatever gave you that idea?
