It's hard for there to be a less authoritative figure on this stuff than Krebs.

Authority doesn't transfer across all domains. Although this is roughly adjacent to his domain, it's also not his domain. Consider wikipedia's take on the subject of self published sources: " Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work *in the relevant field* has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-p...

  This is his domain. His domain is cyberattacks. This is 100% about cyberattacks. Sure some people are playing politics with it, but it is his domain more than the politicians. Of thr people mentioned here, we have one of the world's foremost security experts, and a fox news host making a decision about cyber security. There is no evidence that the fox news host's experience is more relevant to this domain.

    No it's not, it's about cyber attacks and diplomacy. He has no expertise in diplomacy.

    I looked the fox news host, he is military. That was just a low shot. I get that cybersecurity is his domain. But this is about national defense and international politics no? He is taking a jab at a different (bigger) topic based on his domain. In my experience when people do this, it doesn't play out, people get overconfident and explore the limits of their competence. But he might be on to something, who knows, time will tell. It's just not statistically likely for me And in Krebs defense, the topics are interrelated, it's not like he just gave his opinion on a completely unrelated manner like covid (remember when everyone had an opinion on that?)
