I trust Krebs to do the right thing, but hopefully he went to authorities with this before publishing this dude's personal information.

Of course, I may be a little too sensitive about this kind of stuff. I am in the middle of reading Neal Stephenson's REAMDE right now.

Unfortunately, Krebs has a history of not doing the right thing around individuals. [0]

Krebs is a charlatan like many others. I don’t know why he’s given so much clout in technical circles. At this point he’s nothing more than a journalist.

Yes, Krebs is a journalist. I don’t think that’s a big secret.

I’m not a fan but I don’t see how you could call him a charlatan, he’s never claimed to be anything but a journalist.

Journalists are all charlatans since for the most part they know very little of what they’re talking about. “Journalist” is practically an insult at this point.

REAMDE is a great book!
