Happy 12th Birthday, Krebs OnSecurity.com!
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity.com marked its 12th anniversary on December 29, 2021, reporting more than seven million unique visitors, over 12 million pageviews and almost 8,000 comments that year, plus nearly 50,000 email newsletter subscribers. The site's author recounted that his position at washingtonpost.com was eliminated when the two newsrooms merged in 2009, and that a six-month severance package gave him the runway to launch the blog.
Why it matters: The site notes it hosts no third-party content, including ad creatives, which are vetted images served directly from krebsonsecurity.com - a reminder that a widely read security publication treats its own ad supply chain as an attack surface.
