Was on the front page for ~12 hours.

OK. That's how it got all the upvotes. I am here fairly often, and in my neck of the woods, it was only high up for about three of them. I note that it starts its drop (quickly) at about 9AM, East Coast time. I should note that front page is 30 or less, and, according to that graph, it was only there, for about ten hours; most of which wasn't daytime, in the US. I only noticed it, the first time, because I woke up in the middle of the night, and checked the site.

But it's still the type of story that should have had a much longer tenure, especially as it was Krebs.

I am now thinking that the access may have been through a backdoor. It certainly seems to have operated like a direct intravenous link.

BTW: Thanks for this link: https://securitywall.co/tools/ipa-analyzer
