Happy 15th Anniversary, Krebs OnSecurity!

Summary: KrebsOnSecurity marked its 15th anniversary with a recap of its most-read 2024 stories, including an investigation into Stark Industries Solutions, a hosting firm that appeared when Russia invaded Ukraine and was used as a global proxy network to conceal the source of cyberattacks and disinformation. The recap also covers a Canadian man charged with 20 criminal counts in the Snowflake data extortions, a Belarusian OneRep CEO who founded dozens of people-search sites the service offered to remove people from, and a Radaris CEO found to be a fabricated identity.

Key Takeaway: The Snowflake extortions exposed private information on hundreds of millions of Americans, and the reporting that preceded the arrest of Connor Riley Moucka came from the same outlet now marking 15 years of covering the people behind such breaches.
