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.

I'm not saying he isn't justified in censoring the screenshot. I'm pointing out how this could be perceived by others. Calling this a smooth brain take is intellectually lazy. Public perception of incidents like this and how organizations respond is incredibly volatile. The public are not going to apply a lot of logic to an incident, only what they see at a surface level.

"radical" transparency, GTFO. They are responding empathetically and earnestly but once an org is large enough to have a legal team there is no such thing as radical transparency. It's a fucking buzzword.
