Krebs Hacker Unmasked, Hit Ars and Wired's Honan 164
altjira writes "Brian Krebs, hot on the tail of the hacker who DDOS his site and SWATted his home, followed up on a tip, found the dox, called and then outed his hacker. Turns out it may have been the same guy who hit Wired's Mat Honan and Ars Technica."
The attacker is ... a 20 year old guy who apparently has too much time on his hands, and was surprisingly careless with his personal information for someone exploiting the personal information of others.

Sir Garlon is a villain from an obscure, early part of the King Arthur legend. He had the power of invisibility and used it to ambush and murder other knights, apparently just for the lulz. So really that choice of nick is a nod to my repressed impulses for mayhem and the way anonymity encourages snarkiness. :-)
Oh, BTW, crime did not pay for Sir Garlon, either. He got whacked, I believe by Sir Balan, to avenge one of Balan's kinsmen.
