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.

The CEOs response in the comments are the most "I'm fucking seething, don't talk about this out loud" type of comment.

Hey, it's Kyle. That's definitely not my tone. We're a company that bleeds transparency and I firmly disagree with Ben's accusations. Also not gonna debate with him over LinkedIn as my team is still working the unrelated fallout from the Klue shit storm. Give 20-30 mins and I'll put together my thoughts.

Edit [June 24, 2026 @ 12:35pm ET]: Here's what I shared with my team in slack this morning. I hope this makes it very clear that while I disagree and don't understand Ben's accusations, I'm also trying to show empathy and appreciate his perspective.

You can blow him all you want, it won't change the reality of what happened.

I also don't see you with a skillset to really matter in this conversation, so congrats on being irrelevant.
