> If you google "doxxing brian krebs pr0gramm" you will find lots of other news sources

I found no doxxing, I read that they organized a fundraiser, donated to cancer research, and even Brian Krebs wrote that “the response from pr0gramm members has been remarkably positive overall.”[1]

> I found no doxxing

If you think that images of brian krebs' face with "Hurensohn" (German for "son of a whore") on it are not doxxing, you must be living in a parallel world.

Not gonna post direct links to this, because of HN guidelines. See the VICE article about it, which still contains some of those images. [1]

What I'm saying is that there was an attempt to doxx Brian Krebs, and the users of the imageboard [2] and Gamb, one of the admins, was turning that shitstorm into a positive thing. [3]
