There are way more than 150 people who speak that dialect. I spend a lot of time down east - there are lots of similar dialects, etc. all around the area, not just on Ocracoke, but in Atlantic, Harkers Island, Beaufort, and other similar areas.
One important point here: In the article the author says that the location of the database is /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. That's not entirely correct.

Quick overview: They had a Nagios backdoor, which led to a leak of the customer database of their dedicated server administration console (Hetzner Robot).

This one is really serious. With access to this admin console, you can wipe all dedicated servers with one single click. We advised Hetzer before to add more security (two-way authentication, etc.) to the console, but I think not much happened here...
Pilots now have iPads strapped to their legs. Or, that's what a friend of mine does. It really useful (with a dedicated pilot app, not Google Maps), but they always have a "real" GPS onboard for backup.
German bookstore Lehmanns, known for academic books, is selling Vi, Emacs, Linux, BSD and Latex reference mugs. They even got one with the number Pi and e on it.
