Interview With Fresh Air’s Terry Gross

Summary: Krebs appeared as a guest on Terry Gross's Fresh Air radio show on NPR for a roughly 39-minute interview covering his reporting on the Target and Neiman Marcus breaches and an investigation into an identity theft service that gained access to a subsidiary of Experian. The segment, titled "The Hazards of Probing the Internet's Dark Side," also addressed responses his reporting has drawn from the cybercrime underground.
