About

I have been writing about Internet security related stories for the past two decades, and maintain a daily blog on computer security and cybercrime at KrebsOnSecurity.com. I was a reporter for The Washington Post from 1995 - 2009. I have a broad degree of knowledge about and interest in a range of Internet security topics. My main professional goal is to make the important computer security issues understandable, interesting, and timely for readers. My stories focus mainly on computer crime, and on the cybercrime underground.
