In a "few days", well we have the August 2022 precedent!

> In August 2022, Slack reset user passwords after accidentally exposing the password hashes in a separate incident. Unsurprisingly, that particular notice is also marked with a 'noindex' (both the U.S. and international versions).

Here all versions have the noindex. And it's 4 months after.

> BleepingComputer further observed that the "meta" tag containing the "noindex" attribute was itself placed towards the bottom within the page's HTML code, in an elongated line that overflows without breaking.

Placing meta tags at the bottom, out of sight ... an _interesting_ choice given the nature of the news.

That might just be a limitation of the CMS

Agree. While I'm pretty sure this is to bury the articles in search, that part is probably just technical reasons (or, even more credible, technical laziness).

> Check in a few days to see if I'm right

Or, you know, to see if they change it in response to the article or the discussion here.
