It would be a lot easier to just start a new thread, instead. Then, when a moderator comes by, it can merge it with the old thread.
This helps keep things nice and tidy for everyone. And, it might be even a good opportunity to assess whether the thread is actually related or not. Just like we also sometimes split conversations when the main topic of the thread has shifted focus.
For instance, the article talks about a data leak of passwords, which would best fit in this other thread about news of this sort:
The other thread that is now closed is a conversation about which password managers are there, which ones you've tried and can recommend, etc.
