Double the Love from Friends and Enemies
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity.com was voted the blog that best represents the security industry for the second year running by judges at the 2012 Social Security Blogger Awards at the RSA Security Conference, and Brian Krebs was also recognized with a Security Bloggers Hall of Fame award alongside Bruce Schneier. The post notes that the site had been receiving automated junk traffic over the preceding days, causing reported slowness and availability issues.
Bottom line: The same week the blog was honored for representing the security industry, it was absorbing automated junk traffic severe enough that readers reported the site slow or unavailable - a reminder that visibility and recognition also put a target on the infrastructure behind them.
