Huntress Labs’ Kyle Hanslovan on how his team tricked a hacker into being arrested

Huntress Labs Co-Founder and CEO Kyle Hanslovan talks with CyberScoop Editor-in-Chief Greg Otto on how his company found a hacker breaking into a managed service provider’s (MSP) network, then socially engineered the group into turning themselves in.

“We got [the hacker] to give up a screenshot,” Hanslovan told Otto at the 2020 RSA Conference. “From the screenshot, we were able to derive not only the victim customers, but the actual compromised MSP, notified the compromised MSP, and helped them clean up.”

Hanslovan also talked about the funding his company recently raised, and what he plans to do with it.
