Can you people stop submitting this fraud reporter's content on here? The guy doxxed security researchers working under pseudonyms when they criticized his bad articles. This guy should be yeeted into the sun, not voted atop HN for every piece of blog spam.

I think you should start by providing information to back up your claims. This is not Twitter.

You mean like this?

Krebs did, at some point, (on Twitter I believe) doxx the presumed twitter hackers. (That one time verified accounts got taken over)

Krebs tends to have some really strong and insightful infosec articles. I don't think we should throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Or, put differently, I don't think his offenses are bad enough to 'cancel' him.

On HN, we go by article quality, not site quality: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

I don't know if the current article is good, but the site has certainly had some good articles. If we were to judge every site by the worst thing that had appeared on it (or, for that matter, every person by the worst thing they've done), there wouldn't be much left. That's a strategy for a much less interesting world, so it violates the prime directive of HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....
