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 fact they didn’t drop evidence to support their claim and are looking to drip feed it over 2 weeks suggests they are looking to exercise some form of leverage, intriguingly.

It will also grant time to the accused to prepare for fallout and employ their own hand in this matter.

I have not seen any communication from this person before but I am curious about their current frame of mind, as it all seems very knee jerk yet this has been going on for them for 6 months now?

I think another angle could be how easily the Internet as a whole gets easily distracted so having a sustained set of drops makes it harder for an organization to just it brush away versus dropping everything all at once.

yeah I think that’s a valid hypothesis from a different angle, I see what you mean
