Brian Krebs explores corners of the internet most people don’t even know exist. A former Washington Post reporter who now runs the cybersecurity news website KrebsOnSecurity.com, he has chronicled the web’s underbelly and occasionally suffered for it. In 2016, his website became the target of possibly the largest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack the web had ever seen; Krebs later uncovered who was behind the attack—which was enabled by thousands of unsecured IoT devices—and two men subsequently pled guilty to related charges.

He also talks what law firms—a “perennial target”—should be doing to make themselves less vulnerable to malicious hackers, especially those that are state-backed.
