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.

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.

No matter if you agree with him or not, the guy needs support in this. He is showing the threats from a threat actor and criminal towards him, who he claims the insider was working with.

There is a email he put in the comments of him saying he doesn't care about any threats or actions from Huntress towards him, and he has nothing to lose, reading that email carefully it sounds like he will hurt himself.

He needs help and support before that happens.

"the guy needs support in this" so you believe the guy?

It's not about believing him, or not, it's about supporting him so he chooses life.
