Its main focus is preventing data theft on large-scale networks, mobile devices and cloud applications. The blog also features infographics and a weekly round-up Friday Five.

Run by journalist and investigative reporter, Brian Krebs, Krebs on Security is a blog built around his obsessions with cyber security after falling victim to a hacker group in 2001. The blog is built around two main themes: data breaches, online crime, cyber-justice and security updates. The blog has seen much success, in that several cybercrime groups have been taken down as a result of Kreb’s investigations.
