You must be something right when you attract that much dedicated attention...

I'm surprised at how personal these attacks are. Is it that common for public security figures to be at such risk ?

Skim through some of Krebs' past articles.

He has publicly outed many "cyber-criminals" on his blog and typically provides plenty of proof to back up his assertions. These criminals, of course, don't really like that.

I understand his motive for publishing details of things like this that are directed at him but it makes me wonder if another criminal reading it won't try to "one-up" the previous guy.
