What Keeps You Up At Night?
Summary: In a January 2010 Krebs on Security post, Steve Santorelli of Team Cymru interviewed Brian Krebs for the Who and Why Show, asking what keeps him up at night. Krebs answered that he worries what will happen to the Internet as we know it when people begin to die in a measurable way because of computer and Internet security vulnerabilities and attacks.
What you should know: The concern Krebs names is not data loss or downtime but measurable loss of life tied to security vulnerabilities, and the reader comments that follow describe exposed small-business servers, unpatched IE6 and Flash, and weak sentences for identity theft as the conditions that would produce it.
