‼️ Huntress' CEO says it's not illegal that an employee of theirs tipped off a threat actor about the FBI looking for them, then closes his blog post with "protecting ALL businesses while wrecking adversaries in the process."

How exactly are you wrecking adversaries when you act as their informant by allegedly sending them screenshots that named FBI agents?

Their CEO, Kyle Hanslovan, said in an interview today that a current employee told a ransomware actor that law enforcement had reached out asking about that actor. He calls it "poor judgment," says it was not illegal, and rejects the "insider threat" label.

The former employee who raised it, Ben Folland, says that admission proves his point. He alleges the employee forwarded FBI communications to the DevMan ransomware group, then refused to cooperate with the FBI. His supporting evidence is not public yet.

Threat-intel teams routinely talk to criminals for research, but once a researcher warns a target that law enforcement is circling, an active case can collapse, and that is the line Huntress now has to defend in public.

We've reached out to Huntress with questions about the employee who allegedly sent DevMan information, and they pointed us to their CEO's blog post.

‼️ BREAKING: Apple's Hide My Email lets almost anyone uncover the real address behind a "hidden" alias, and Apple has left it unpatched for over a year.

It was reported to Apple in June 2025 by Tyler Murphy of EasyOptOuts. He says every Hide My Email address checked in limited volunteer tests was exploitable.

If you use Hide My Email to keep a real address off people-search sites or away from someone dangerous, treat that anonymity as unreliable.

❗️ The DOJ announced today that Peter Stokes, 19, a US-Estonian dual citizen and alleged member of the Scattered Spider cybercrime group, was extradited from Finland and charged in the Northern District of Illinois with conspiracy, computer intrusion, and fraud.

More than $100 million in ransom payments, belongs to the group across 100-plus intrusions; the only conduct the complaint pins on him is a May 2025 breach of a luxury jewelry retailer with an $8 million demand that went unpaid.

Stokes is the latest Scattered Spider figure pulled into US courts through international cooperation, here with Finland's National Bureau of Investigation and an Interpol Red Notice. The case sits inside Operation Riptide, the FBI campaign the bureau says is responding to more than $20 billion in reported US cybercrime losses last year.

❗️ Steam is hosting a game called Woman Simulator, an unreleased game where players do chores as a housewife under a "tyrannical husband" who punishes substandard work, per the developer's own description.

The renewed backlash lands weeks after Plantation Simulator, a game Valve never acted on. Its developer pulled it in late May while Valve stayed silent through the entire uproar.

Valve's stated policy since 2018 is to allow nearly everything and let players filter.

❗️Some people are calling this very embarrassing: the FBI seized 'the wrong' domain during a proxy network takedown.

The FBI seized netnut[.]com, but the Internet Archive doesn't show any proxy network website ever having been hosted there. The real domain, netnut[.]io, does.

We've asked our contacts, and they tell us the takedown is ongoing and the dot com domain is a legit takedown. The dot io should follow shortly, as it lags behind.

❗️ Alibaba bans employees from using Anthropic's Claude Code in workplace environments from July 10, citing alleged embedded "backdoor" risks raised after recent binary reverse-engineering.

The reported ban lands weeks after Anthropic told US lawmakers that Alibaba-linked operators used roughly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to distill Claude, turning a model-abuse dispute into an open corporate standoff.

MacBook users have been taking metal files to the sharp front edge below the trackpad, where the palm rests, rounding it off by hand.

Some users say the edge has never bothered them. Others describe wrist pain after hours of trackpad use.
