Bitglass said there were three attempted logins to Google Drive in the first day and five attempted logins to the fake bank site. Within two days, files were downloaded from the Google Drive account.

It seems to me like a local news story where they leave a bike to be stolen in an area that is known for it and acting like it's news that people...try to steal the bike.
Seems like it would be more interesting if they made some sort of honeypot with something they would want like a CC list or something that has a good password and see if/when people get in without social engineering etc.
