This isn't his first time doing it, either. https://itwire.com/security/infosec-researchers-slam-ex-wapo-man-krebs-over-doxxing.html https://itwire.com/securit

  Some people claim that the coinhive story had some unnecessary doxxing aswell: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/03/annual-protest-to-fight-krebs-raises-e150k/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/03/annual-protest-to-fight-... (see comments) The users of said image board do a yearly fundraiser to protest against the unnecessary doxxing. The first one was started by a random user.

  I was personally unaware of these stories, and am slightly disgusted by the fact that I used to think Krebs was a fairly stand-up guy. Doxxing someone because of a bad book review? I guess I shouldn't be surprised he's now doxxing someone based on a loose thread with no evidence. I would have thought someone who has been swatted before would realize the dangers of releasing someones personal address to outrage-hungry vigilantes.

  He also doxxed a guy who registered a bunch of domains defensively. He didn't even really apologize, just updated the story a few days later. [1] I called it out here prior to the update.

  That is just embarrassingly petty - I've just lost a little more respect for the guy.
