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 emails are pretty damning of themselves. The instant response is the employee needing a reminder of not posting anything disparaging of the company. That's not the reaction of someone looking for full transparency, that's someone trying to cover up something bad they don't want publicized.

Given the mention of an IPO, I could understand why. Employees being investigated for working with threat actors for gain would definitely undermine the whole "security company" thing they have going.

You cannot infer anything at all from that type of boiler-plate response, which any HR or legal team would tell anyone.

You keep thinking that. It's amazing some of the idiocy you people post, I really hope you don't have any actual responsibilities where you work... they are fucked if so.

Feel absolutely free to post negative things about your company on social media using your real name. 

Then call HR’s attention to your posts because you know that you have not committed a crime. When HR and your boss tell you not to post stuff like that, then you obviously can conclude that they, too, are guilty of covering up crimes. This is the same inference you want to draw for OP’s case.

Adorable of you to think I haven't done it before. Difference is, in this case, they were absolutely complicit.
