It also dropped off the front page, pretty quickly, despite getting a lot of upvotes and comments. I was surprised by that, as this is exactly the type of story that tends to spend a couple of days on the front page.

But it’s also the kind of story that won’t stay down, and will definitely be back.

It appears as if there are folks here that don’t want to talk about this.

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

    Looks interesting.
