I’m of two minds:
On the one hand we need openness with regards to reporting breaches.
On the other hand we need truth in reporting. Krebs seems to be teetering at the edges. I’d rather have solid reporting without the drama.
- sneak 5y agoKrebs also doxxes people he doesn't like, and threatens people who leave negative reviews of his products. He's a dark cloud over infosec and I wish people would stop linking him.
- Hamuko 5y agoI stopped giving Krebs any kind of respect after he argued against GDPR protections on WHOIS records just because it makes his job (of doxxing people, I guess) harder. Sorry, but I can't see the privacy and physical security of millions of honest domain owners as a good trade-off for the work of "anti-abuse and security professionals". I was also not amused when he started defending anonymous shell companies by saying "Not everyone who uses shell companies is trying to launder $$. Some people just really value their privacy." https://twitter.com/briankrebs/status/1336487678301364226 https://twitter.com/briankrebs/status/1336487678301364226 I'm guessing that in addition to third-party WHOIS privacy, Krebs also has a shell company. Privacy for me, but not for thee.
