It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since I posted the first entry on this blog. It seems like just yesterday that I was leaving The Washington Post and making a huge – and somewhat scary – leap as an independent investigative journalist. What an amazing year it has been for security, in every sense!
I’ve been completely blown away by the feedback and encouragement I’ve received from regular readers and new ones (my site metrics report that more than 60 percent of visits are still from new visitors). In the past 12 months, I’ve authored some 270 blog posts, and you the readers have left more than 11,000 comments.
Some readers have been especially generous: So far this year KrebsOnSecurity.com has received more than 50 donations via the PayPal Donate! button in the sidebar.
In short, I am extremely grateful for your support, and am looking forward to a busy 2011: I expect to do quite a bit more public speaking and traveling next year, but I plan to maintain the pace I’ve set this year on the blog.
Thanks for reading, and for your continued support!
Happy Birthday Brian! All the best in 2011.
Happy Birthday KrebsOnSecurity.com! Thanks for all you do Brian!
Thanks to YOU for hanging in there after leaving the Washington Post. I always go straight to your post when a new one turns up in my RSS reader.
С ДНЁМ РОЖДЕНИЯ, БРАЙАН!
Wish you a Happy Birthday. Best wishes for your future endeavors.
Aloha Brian,

I’m one of your new readers, well, maybe not new in Internet time. I think I saw a blog of yours linked from the Windows Secrets newsletter a few months ago and have been a avid reader ever since. Thanks so much for the work you do!
Congrats and thanks for sharing! 🙂
Seasons greetings Brian,
