Some say that any news is good news. These days, after the NiceHash break-in and the steal of around 4700 BTC Slovenian media is having a field trip. Their journalists are suddenly expertly writing about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining.
What a strange way for Bitcoin community to get media's attention. Eh ...
Daily newspaper Dnevnik has a front side and page two story about NiceHash fiasco.

Page two, a full page with two articles:
Biggest Slovenian daily newspaper Delo has at least four articles, the main story included.
Both newspapers feature Matjaž Škorjanc, an infamous hacker. He sees himself as just a programmer and not as a hacker. Actually, he didn't break-in into anything. He just wrote the programs for others...
