Adafruit Industries - Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!

▤ Summary

Adafruit says it received a demand letter from Flux’s counsel asking it not to publish reporting about alleged false claims involving Flux’s intellectual property, traction, and user base. The company says it accessed only information that Flux’s own systems exposed publicly because of a server misconfiguration. Adafruit states that its reporting covered a matter of public security interest and followed responsible disclosure practices. It has temporarily paused publication on its blog while it reviews its response and next steps. The notice centers on a software-company security dispute rather than a commercial product or corporate transaction.
