Brian Krebs last column appeared December 24th:
Farewell 2009, and The Washington Post
This will be the last post for the Security Fix blog. Dec. 31 marks my final day at The Washington Post Company.
Over the last 15 years, I've reported hundreds of stories for washingtonpost.com and the paper edition. I have authored more than 1,300 blog posts since we launched Security Fix back in March 2005. Dozens of investigative reports that first appeared online later were "reverse published" in the newspaper, including eight front-page stories and a Post Magazine cover.
Through it all, you - the reader - have been my most valuable source, most reliable critic, and most persistent muse. Loyal readers are the reason Security Fix has consistently been among the most-visited blogs on washingtonpost.com. Thank you.
I will continue to remain engaged in this increasingly vital news beat. Please stay in touch for updates in the New Year. I can be reached directly at this e-mail address.

The loss of Krebs indicates that The Washington Post Company may be in serious financial trouble.
