- xupybd 6y agoI'm not proud to say this but no way I'd want to do that. I'd hate to be on the radar of criminals like that ransomware mogul. Being in a country like Russia he is basically immune to law enforcement and he specialises in harming people remotely.
- _jal 6y agoKrebs seems to be making a calculated career decision by doing so. He's trading some amount of risk for fame. He's not been shy about telling you about when people have tried to retaliate.
- emodendroket 6y agoPeople are already trying to do that to Krebs regularly. Numerous SWATing attempts, drugs sent to his house, etc
- xupybd 6y agoI'm glad someone is standing up to these people but I'm glad it's not me having to deal with that level of harassment.
- sneak 6y agoHe’s also doxxed people who left bad book reviews, and people who argued with him on Twitter. Krebs is frequently a major shithead. He’s not the judge and jury and he shouldn’t be doxxing anyone. It’s a big problem with him, and one of the reasons I wish people would stop linking to his website.
- WaitWaitWha 6y agoThose are some serious accusations (doxxing for bad book reviews, Twitter arguments). If you can provide the references, I am open to reviewing them and act accordingly in the future.
