I’m sure, having listed only 21 people, that I have probably missed several hundred more.

If you tweet or blog about internet security and are not listed above then please introduce yourself via the comments below.

Likewise, if you know someone suitable that I have missed, then please let me know.

UPDATE:

Many thanks to TimelessP who, via Twitter, informed me of an extremely comprehensive list of such people at Security-Twits.com

    Thanks Rik (I’m following you already).

    This is quite an old list – I’m currently working on a much larger revision which will hit my front page in the next day or two.

    I’ll be sure to include you in it.
