This seems to be what they’re really focusing on:
4. Krebs reviewed the press release and he knew that his sole source had been indicted for his criminal involvement in the cyberattack. Despite these damming facts, Krebs published a story on his blog the next day doubling down on his false accusations against Ubiquiti and intentionally misleading his readers into believing that his earlier reporting was not sourced by Sharp, the hacker behind the attack.4 5. Instead of acknowledging that the source from his previous story was indicted by federal prosecutors for his crimes against Ubiquiti, Krebs calls Sharp “a Ubiquiti employee” when referencing Sharp’s contributions to his reporting. But in the very next sentence, Krebs describes Sharp as “a former Ubiquiti developer” who “was arrested and charged with stealing data and trying to extort his employer while pretending to be a whistleblower.” From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2022 11:34 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Another Ubiquiti Lawsuit... and yet public comment after public comment is that people first heard about it from Krebs, suggesting that whatever Ubiquiti did was insufficient. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Chuck McCown via AF" <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Cc: "Chuck McCown" <ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> > Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2022 11:20:43 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Another Ubiquiti Lawsuit... Here is the first part of the complaint: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63197557/ubiquiti-inc-v-krebs/ Ubiquiti Inc. files this defamation action because blogger Brian Krebs1 falsely accused the company of “covering up” a cyberattack by intentionally misleading customers about a so-called data “breach” and subsequent blackmail attempt in violation of federal law and SEC regulations. 2 The opposite is true: Ubiquiti promptly notified its customers about the attack and instructed them to take additional security precautions to protect their information. Ubiquiti then notified the public in the next filing it made with the SEC. But Krebs intentionally disregarded these facts to target Ubiquiti and increase ad revenue by driving traffic to his website, www.KrebsOnSecurity.com <http://www.KrebsOnSecurity.com> .
