Why the Highs Boson can no longer be called the God particle...

• It remains an open question, however, whether this is the Higgs boson of the Standard Model of particle physics, or possibly the lightest of several bosons predicted in some theories that go beyond the Standard Model. Finding the answer to this question will take time.

  To determine if this is the Standard Model Higgs boson, the collaborations have, for example, to measure precisely the rate at which the boson decays into other particles and compare the results to the predictions. The detection of the boson is a very rare event – it takes around 1 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions for each observed event. To characterize all of the decay modes will require much more data from the LHC.

So as I thought, not yet confirmed. It's confirmed to be a boson, whether or not it's a Higgs boson is still an open question.

Actually I think all the remaining possible Bosons are Higgs Bosons - certainly that is the way that I read it. It appears we know its a Higgs Boson but not which Higgs Boson - although all the indications are that it is the standard model Higgs.
