Parent article: Linux Format censored over 'Learn to Hack' feature (bit-tech)

Thanks for keeping us all safe, B&N! If it weren't for the vigilance of those who [attempted to] limit the distribution of this magazine, "password cracking, network sniffing, and man-in-the-middle attacks over encrypted protocols" would enter the realm of public knowledge, and we would all be doomed.

Hi there, you have read the comment above?

According to The Verge, this didn't happen: 'Barnes & Noble has told The Verge that it "did not pull this magazine." We've also confirmed that the digital version of issue 154 of Linux Format is still available from the Nook newsstand.' (post by sciurus)

Hold your horses :)
P.S. I propose lwn adds an update when they come back from their well-deserved holiday
