From what i remember Ubiquiti was really hacked and customer information was breached, but it was done by an employee that already had the keys to the kingdom anyway..
The hacker was also the employee assigned to investigate the hack internally..
And here is were Brian comes in, this same person, the hacker\internal investigator, was also Brian source about the event and he was feeding bad information to Brian to make things look way worst for Ubiquiti then they really were..
When this came to light Brian did not immediately retracted the posts, he just made a new post indicating that the hacker was a former employee, that the hacker was being indicted for the it, and that the hacker had contacted the media and leaked fake info about the hack.
But he never made it clear that the hacker was also his own source for all the earlier posts that likely contained wrong information.
So Ubiquiti sued him, they settled out of court, Brian retracted all posts on the hack and issued an apology to Ubiquiti.
