Krebs on Security

A notorious hacker group took over Brian Krebs’ home network while he was trying to set up a firewall in 2001. This incident introduced him to the world of computer security in what he describes as an obsession. He was so obsessed, he launched the daily blog Security Fix in 2005. Four years later, he started his own blog Krebs on Security and it became a huge hit. The blog is built around recurring themes: online crime investigations, which is the main focus of Krebs himself; latest cyber-threats and data breaches; security updates in the hacking world; and cyber-justice, where Krebs writes about hacking suspects being apprehended. The blog was so influential, it helped take down several cybercrime groups.
