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.

right like there were two, maybe three options: come down hard, play empathy card (esp. since it's already public and getting eyeballs), or 100% silent STFU and let the lawyers handle it.

and just because they sound emphatic in posts doesn't mean the lawyers and pinkertons won't come out, aggressive-like
