On a slightly unrelated note, I like how the author referred to the attacker with she/her, a small detail I can appreciate since they normally refer to them with he/him.
Given that the attacker is unknown, the correct term would be they or them. Gender is unknown, a gender neutral description should be used.
While interesting, I'm not sure how I feel about him ending the article with solid advice for criminals on how to avoid getting caught.
I'm the author of this post. You mention a tough philosophical quandary that I struggle with every time I share information with the rest of the world. As much as I hate giving attackers anything, I am very dedicated to information sharing so that people can learn as much as possible from my posts. The truth is always out there one way or another. I would rather everybody be as educated as possible. Hopefully that ma…

Not to say that Huthos are innocent, but I don't see any concrete proof that they are behind this attack. The fact that they are hosting a server provisioning script is hardly crazy, given that they are a hosting provider.

At the same time the author referred to the attacker as a "guy", so that just proves how difficult it can be to get rid of the gender bias (assuming this was the author's intent).
Looks like the owner of Huthos doesn't even bother hiding the nature of his operations. The author mentions he has "poor operational security practices" which is rather charitable given that the "buy a vps" links on the website simply link directly to his Facebook profile.
I'd want a bit more proof, like it actually being used by a Huthos customer, before going after them.
