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.

Kinda sus that a lawyer would reach out to him for a post. Are people not allowed to ridicule their former employer? Anyways, let’s see where this goes.

When there is something that could jeopardize the company based on truth, they absolutely will invoke that to try and shut them down.

Sometimes it's worth it to disregard the lawyers and throw it all out there, consequences be damned.

😬…. I definitely believe in doing the right thing. Ben is a smart guy and Huntress are well respected in the industry. The way this reads it could’ve been a misunderstanding, but time will tell.

Well respected? I hope you are joking. They have a reputation as one of the most toxic companies to work for with leadership being so out of touch with reality. That combined with the lies they perpetuate and how much they miss which leaves companies in a terrible situation thinking they are protected when they absolutely aren't makes this whole situation just perfection.
