I was personally unaware of these stories, and am slightly disgusted by the fact that I used to think Krebs was a fairly stand-up guy.
Doxxing someone because of a bad book review? I guess I shouldn't be surprised he's now doxxing someone based on a loose thread with no evidence.
I would have thought someone who has been swatted before would realize the dangers of releasing someones personal address to outrage-hungry vigilantes.
He also doxxed a guy who registered a bunch of domains defensively. He didn't even really apologize, just updated the story a few days later. [1] I called it out here prior to the update. [2]
What small step is that? Looks like a textbook case of doxxing to me.
