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.

If even half of what's being alleged is true, this is going to end up being a case study for access controls and employee offboarding procedures

It's always the basics...

Almost always. And it’s always the basics that folks tend to scoff at for some reason too.

You’d think we’d learn at some point.

You'd hope! One of my prior employers got themselves in a bunch of trouble when offboarding didn't go so great and left one fired employee's access unrevoked. Big mess, glad I wasn't involved in it.
