There's a certain symmetry to that, though. You fuck up on the world stage then you suffer a world of consequences. Anyway, I would sincerely hope people are more mature than to start harassing a dude that some security has-been decided to name as the perpetrator. You're not allow to harass and threaten someone just because they're suspected of being guilty of some crime.

Uhh.. have you ever been on Twitter? That's like half the activity there, people dog piling on others based on circumstantial, if any, evidence of perceived slights or wrongdoing.
Sure, people _shouldn't_, but they overwhelmingly _do_, which has real, tragic consequences. People with platforms must take care or they cause tangible harm to others.
Yes. This is called liable and it's illegal in the US. I don't know about international liable laws.. but if such a concept exists, the kid should sue Krebs if he experiences tangible negative consequences of Krebs' accusations.
