Could use a photograph. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 23:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
ISP busts
To what degree is he responsible for getting McColo and the Russian Business Network shut down?
If he was a major player in destroying child porn rings and cutting worldwide spam by over 40 percent, that should probably be in his article. Got less spam? Thank the Washington Post

Factoid
Slightly entertaining and possibly notable factoid: he is referenced in a recent wave of spam emails: UOYKCUFSBERKNAIBR
read this code backwards and transpose the b and r.

Notable as it shows some spammers clearly hate him! --Gigitrix (talk) 16:14, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Criticism
Mb someone with right can add
In March 2018 Krebs, while stating to investigate the Mining Company "Coinhive" for 3rd party abuse of their scripts, doxxed the administrator of the german imageboard "pr0gramm" by releasing his name and residence to the public, while wrongly denouncing him to be a "far-right" activist and a "bavarian separatist"

== Last Paragraph of "Career" Can someone make this sentence intelligble? No idea what they're trying to say. This is at least 3 sentences... "An article by Krebs on 27 March 2018 on KrebsOnSecurity.com about the mining software company and script "Coinhive" where Krebs published the names of admins of the German imageboard pr0gramm, as a former admin is the inventor of the script and owner of the company, was answered by an unusual protest action by the users of that imageboard.
