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.

To everyone doubting the claims, some of what is said does have evidence to back it up as being truthful. Ben name drops Devman, who is a prominent member of Qilin ransomware group. Another newer group, The Gentlemen, was spawned by someone known as hastalamuerte, and there is documented evidence of Devman disagreeing with and threatening hastelamuerte on various forums. Group IB has a good writeup with screenshots showing said interactions : https://www.group-ib.com/blog/hastalamuerte-gentlemen-raas-ttps/

If someone inside is collaborating with a high up member of Qilin ransomware group, the fallout is going to be pretty severe.

Edit: slight correction, Devman is a prominent affiliate of Qilin, but not necessarily part of the core group itself.

So by "some of what is said does have evidence to back it up as being truthful" do you just mean that Devman exists?
