This is a much better article than Krebs. Thanks for the link.

You can dress it up in fancy grammar but it is just doxing.

I understand how, in the forums. it's kind of like saying "tag" to dump the personal details on someone, but I would expect Krebs to take it up a notch and try to figure out perhaps where the funding comes from, the operations they SEA is running, and perhaps the motivations.

Doxing that apparently got everything wrong according to the updates. I rarely wish for HN to be more like reddit, but their clear ban on doxing is useful, and in this case I don't see any reason this post belongs on the front page of HN.

Flagging this post; he apparently totally got things wrong.

Let's hope an erudite and correct analysis gets posted sometime.

I am a fan of Krebs and his works but I feel a little uncomfortable reading this kind of "profiling" articles pointing out names and personal informations without strong supporting evidence, like this time.

I wonder what would happen if something like this happened to an US citizen. I bet there would be enough room for a legal action.

I am not sure if anything he states is correct or not. I mean the people just stated that he got it wrong but couldnt anyone just say no thats not me I did contracting work for so and so.
