Threat Level has won two Webby awards. Just when we thought everyone forgot our birthday.
In a field that included CNBC, the Immigration Advocates Network, the International Justice Central, and the UK’s Guardian, internet voters chose Threat Level for the “People’s Voice” award in the law category. We also won the judged award bestowed by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences in the same category.
My thanks to everyone who voted for us, to our freelancer writers, and especially to tireless Threat Level reporters David Kravets and Kim Zetter, the Woodward and Bernstein of privacy, security and cyber crime. Also Ryan Singel, who co-founded the blog (under the marketing-unfriendly title 27B Stroke 6) with me five years ago last week.
The awards will be presented on June 13 at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
A bunch of other people won too. Read the full list here.
