The funny thing is that krebsonsecurity.com are the ones that published the false information in the first place.
Good summary of the whole saga by Crosstalk youtube channel which covers mostly Ubiquiti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paLm0tP5GbI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paLm0tP5GbI
- kyrra 5y agoI give Krebs a little credit here because the "whistleblower" from his original article was really an insider that was part of the investigation into the breach. Obviously this source was also the hacker, but knowing that was impossible. Now, I believe Krebs should at least acknowledge he made this mistake, sadly he hasn't here yet.
- someperson 5y agoFrom my cursory reading of Brian Krebs' blog, most posts seem written by a ghostwriter.
- unfolding 5y agowhat makes you think that?
- scoopertrooper 5y agoAll the references to ectoplasm.
- someperson 5y agoKrebs uses the word 'I' a lot, but the ghostwriter(s) do not.
- thesausageking 5y agoWait. So his big "whistleblower" source for this article in April was actually the hacker? https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/04/ubiquiti-all-but-confirms-breach-response-iniquity/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/04/ubiquiti-all-but-confirm... Bad on Krebs for not at least mentioning this.
- xwolfi 5y agoHe obv didnt know
- mynameisvlad 5y agoHe can still post a retraction/update on the original article. I mean, he added an update already from later in the month, and he clearly knows now.
- asymmetric 5y agoNot surprised TBH. Brian Krebs has a history of questionable ethical behavior, like doxxing people who leave negative reviews on his book[0].

- travoc 5y agoIs identifying a real person by their internet pseudonym really doxxing?
- idealmedtech 5y agoPractically by definition, yes.
- SEJeff 5y agoKrebbs doxxed one of my friends who happens to be a gay hacker in a country where both being gay and being a hacker are illegal. Krebbs doesn’t take kindly to any sort of bad reviews or even the hint that he’s not perfect FYI.
- notsureaboutpg 5y agoKrebs revealed that your friend is gay?

- taf2 5y agoDamn that’s a really bad hire.
