The bottom of this blog post, Brain Krebs mentioned the name a company who specialized in fraud prevent. That sounds like a product placement advertising to me (he does do CPM based ad placement on his blog[0], so I am more suspicious about product placement). Additionally, I lost the respect for him when he questioned the validity of Ashley Madison site data breach, disregarding confirmation of many other sources but solely based on the interview he had with Raja Bhatia, ex-CTO of ‎Avid Life Media, who was proven to be clueless about security in retrospect. Brian Krebs later did retract his original reporting with an update shortly after overwhelming evidences proved he was wrong.[1] Basically, he's neither a security research nor a good investigative journalist IMMO.
