I really hope Brian Krebs has a very good bodyguard and other personal protection in place.

  that's exactly why I don't want to teach myself computer security it's way too dangerous, and it's going to be worse and worse

      I know how basic security work, which is enough to protect myself. And I don't have enough money to attract elaborate scams. What I mean is that I don't risk getting involved in a business that can attract murderers and geopolitical interests. I would be happy to work for a computer security company if it was working towards making the world a safer place, meaning searching for vulnerabilities and fixing them. But so far the computer security market tend to favor wrongdoing, because there are no standards or political forces that encourage people to do security work for good reasons. One reason is to let intelligence agencies have the upper hand. That's why I'm not really willing to work in security. It's an unregulated market. I think that most people who do computer security work either for governments, for blackhats, or for pointless security consulting who have a very hard time to do a meaningful job.
