They should have thanked Brian Krebs, though. To be honest. Didn't he call out Jha long before anyone else knew?

- ryanlol 9y agoKrebs almost never knows anything before "anyone else". Before the public or other journos, sure.
- tptacek 9y agoObviously "anyone else" is hyperbolic, but whatever shade you want to throw at Krebs, he is serious about the job of investigative journalism for information security in a way literally nobody else in the industry seems to be.
- ryanlol 9y agoWhy do you think I'm trying to throw shade at Krebs? His journalism is excellent. I just know that the FBI isn't so incompetent that they didn't already know who these guys were before Krebs wrote his article, enough people surrounding Mirai were already very familiar to them.
- tptacek 9y agoSorry, it's a message board, tone is sometimes hard to tell! I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
- meri_dian 9y agoHe did, in this article published in January 2017: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-mirai-worm-author/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-m... It's a great read.
- Sniffnoy 9y agoInterestingly, in addition to Paras Jha and Josiah White, the justice department's announcment mentions a guilty plea from Dalton Norman, who isn't mentioned in Krebs's article. I wonder what the story there is?
- waldfee 9y agothanks, interesting read. though it basically comes down to bad opsec on anna-senpai's part
