Brian Krebs, author of SecurityFix and one of the very few mainstream infosec journalists, is pulling a McLeodd¹ and leaving the Washington Post to go on his own. He will be reporting from Krebs on Security from today.

Apart from the coverage, Brian has also got involved in or instigated responses to some threats, and I hope that fewer editorial restrictions allow him to do and say more.

In truth, I only really like Brian because he's linked, to me before, encouraging up to 1.5 people to read the abstract on my thesis ;), but more seriously providing data and inspiration to me and several other researchers.

Good luck Brian
