Washington Post: Brian Krebs gets in the Spirit with Conficker

So, after RickRolling the local CapSec through the auspices of a “follow the sun” conficker analysis, I received a reply back to this great article from Brian Krebs.  Brian writes for the Washington Post online, and I think he does a really good job.   Unlike some other outlets (such as Wired, which I’m becoming increasingly unfond of) he write about security *for* security folks, and he seems to really GET it.  He doesn’t even complain when he writes about XSS on his blog, and I XSS his comments  

He’s a good guy to hang out with too.  Of course, you still have to be careful what you say in front of the media – on or off the record – and I’ve had to play it mum on a lot of stuff while hanging out with him.  Too bad too, he probably would have loved to scoop some of the stuff I (‘ve worked | am working) .  Well Brian, if you read this, maybe next time I’ll tell you some of the older stories that are now safe to tell

Anyhow, here’s a thumb of Brian’s article.  Click through to the full Washing Post Security Fix article for a nice April Fools’ Read.  [ Note: The editor's note prefacing it as a prank is new.  This morning the only indiciation for those whom hadn't already figured it out was at the very bottom of the article].
