Gosh, I'm conflicted. I upvoted the submission for the interesting HN comments that are likely to appear based on it but also so, so, soooo didn't want to upvote a Krebs article and give him the Ads revenue from the page views.
what's wrong with kerbs?

In that case, you'll be glad to know that I use ad/tracking blockers, so even when I read the article, he won't get any ad revenue from me.
And I imagine that many folks around here do the same.
In my case, it's isn't because I have a problem with Brian Krebs, rather it's because I despise advertising and go to great lengths (sometimes at my own expense) to avoid it.
