Happy Seventh Birthday, Krebs OnSecurity!
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity marked seven years since Brian Krebs left The Washington Post, a year that included a 620 Gbps distributed denial-of-service attack against the site on Sept. 22 that took it offline for several days. Krebs said the site has not allowed third-party content since late 2011 for security reasons, hosts its few ads locally, and that a long-planned redesign will wait until early in the new year.
Key Takeaway: A 620 Gbps DDoS was enough to force a security reporter's site offline for days, and Krebs names ransomware, CEO fraud and DDoS as the subjects likely to keep haunting readers in 2017.
