Who does this substack belong to? I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying they have 17 followers

Yeah they do provide extensive citations... but no listed author, no publically listed people on the about page.

It LOOKS credible but I'm not a network security expert so I want to make sure it's trustworthy especially because I "want" it to be true

I mean... the specific author shouldn't matter.

They provided extensive citations.

If you want to check the veracity and accuracy of the author's writing, go through the citations and evaluate whether or not the author correctly refererenced and charscterized them.

It very much matters when you don't have the knowledge to verify the citations..

I'm not trying to discredit them or anything. Just hoping for verification because the blog has an authoritative name like a lot of fake news outlets
