Krebs is really the Cramer of infosec. He's really cheesey and not the Krebs of yester-year. I have a hard time reading or trusting his stuff.

- elmomle 4y agoCould you provide a more substantive critique of this article? It seemed to me like novel and worthwhile reporting.
- o_1 4y agoLeaked data should be trusted with a grain of salt. ALM has not confirmed the full authenticity of this customer list. I find the results to be plausible. If motivation to shame was intent, curating the list is a possibility not discussed even though they mention a few radical actors.
- elmomle 4y agoThanks! I agree with that overall point--the possibility of accounts being withheld and/or of false inclusions is an interesting one and worthy of discussion. That said, while there are doubtlessly many people who read this article and thought something like "why wouldn't you immediately call out the possibility of curation / manipulation of the data released?", and they're right that it's worthy of calling out, I think the more important fact to remember is that Krebs's work got us here.
