A big culmination of the Ubiquiti / $ui security breach and the reporting on it (and resulting lawsuit). Krebs admits he was duped by a dishonest "source". Shows the harm that misinformed (or malicious) media can create.

Heroku (web app hosting) is removing their free tier. They were spending disproportionate time fighting fraud on free tier (makes sense). This allows them to focus on improvements for paying customer. A great move.
