Krebs 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.


I 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."

I'm guessing that in addition to third-party WHOIS privacy, Krebs also has a shell company. Privacy for me, but not for thee.
