What do you think ?

French thread about that : https://whyweprotest.net/threads/enquête-de-krebsonsecu-id-du-pirate-anna-senpaï-créateur-de-miraï.132549/#post-2601207

Stonning conclusion of the investigation of brian krebs who think that the pirate, author of Miraï's Botnet, aka "Anna-senpai" is in fact a president of the Web security company "ProTraf" which do ddos attack to competitors client's for his own profit.

(Excuse my english, i'm a french cock and i lack of practice)

VOILA !

here, the investigation of brian krebs on the blog :
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-mirai-worm-author/

Nota Bene : Warning ! These conclusions lacking of sources i think, and are very prematures. Another investigation will probably be lead by higher institutions, no doubt about that. We'll know more after that. But for now, i think the reputation of the "guilty partie" is fuck up now, and it will rain shit above ProTraf. Do you think this brian krebs can be right ? Let's find out ! Have you any more info on this ?

On September 22, 2016, this site wasforced offlinefor nearly four days after it was hit with “Mirai,” a malware strain that enslaves poorly secured Internet of Things (IoT) devices like wireless routers and security cameras into a botnet for use in large cyberattacks. Roughly a week after that assault, the individual(s) who launched that attack — using the name “Anna-Senpai” —released the source codefor Mirai, spawning dozens of copycat attack armies online.
After months of digging, KrebsOnSecurity is now confident to have uncovered Anna-Senpai’s real-life identity, and the identity of at least one co-conspirator who helped to write and modify the malware.

Mirai co-author Anna-Senpai leaked the source code for Mirai on Sept. 30, 2016.
Before we go further, a few disclosures are probably in order. First, this is easily the longest story I’ve ever written on this blog. It’s lengthy because I wanted to walk readers through my process of discovery, which has taken months to unravel. The details help in understanding the financial motivations behind Mirai and the botnet wars that preceded it. Also, I realize there are a great many names to keep track of as you read this post, so I’ve included a glossary.
The story you’re reading now is the result of hundreds of hours of research. At times, I was desperately seeking the missing link between seemingly unrelated people and events; sometimes I was inundated with huge amounts of information — much of it intentionally false or misleading — and left to search for kernels of truth hidden among the dross. If you’ve ever wondered why it seems that so few Internet criminals are brought to justice, I can tell you that the sheer amount of persistence and investigative resources required to piece together who’s done what to whom (and why) in the online era is tremendous.
As noted in previous KrebsOnSecurity articles, botnets like Mirai are used to knock individuals, businesses, governmental agencies, and non-profits offline on a daily basis. These so-called “distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacksare digital sieges in which an attacker causes thousands of hacked systems to hit a target with so much junk traffic that it falls over and remains unreachable by legitimate visitors. While DDoS attacks typically target a single Web site or Internet host, they often result in widespread collateral Internet disruption.
A great deal of DDoS activity on the Internet originates from so-called ‘booter/stresser’ services, which are essentially DDoS-for-hire services which allow even unsophisticated users to launch high-impact attacks. And as we will see, the incessant competition for profits in the blatantly illegal DDoS-for-hire industry can lead those involved down some very strange paths, indeed.
(Article too long, please read the blog if you want more)

Well, i'm not an expert, but i'm praticaly sure that's bad. Clever, but bad. These methods remind me an illegal insider dealing. Dont you think ?
