The original title, "Lax Security and Moderation at Goodreads Allows Trolls to Spoof People, Harass Authors" seemed pretty straightforward to me.

How is it misleading or "linkbait"?

Well it's worth noting that the original title is an accusation. The guy who is the target of the attack thinks this is lax security, but do we know that? We haven't heard what the people from Goodreads are doing to address this.
