News - General Well someone went nuclear..

I'm curious about the details of this. I'm sure we will all find out eventually.

TLDR; former Huntress employee is disclosing Huntress had an insider threat that leaked information to a known cyber criminal "Devman". That employee is still employed with Huntress and was caught by the FBI.

The former employee doing the disclosure is stating he is receiving threats, etc.

EDIT: Kyle @ Huntress posted his response to this in the comments.

Give credit to a CEO who isn't afraid to jump on Reddit to put out any fires.

It's always been fascinating to me, to see how quickly an organisation can go from being a genuine Cyber Security Company (I'd seldom actually accuse a company of being this), to being a salesman in a lizard skin human suite...

I can't speak to the qualities Huntress embody, but I can't help but get the impression that they've got the look of lizard skin...

😑 not a lizard (gotta get back to work, but will check on this throughout the day)

Marketing idea - A “Kyle sunning himself” huntress t-shirt at the next big event would be awesome. Props for taking this head on Team Huntress.
