Hunter Storm | Femme Fatale to Federal Whistleblower Timeline

I am Hunter Storm, a federal whistleblower. You can read all about it on my page, Femme Fatale to Federal Whistleblower.

This page is a timeline of events related to my whistleblower disclosure. All details have been sanitized to protect confidentiality and privacy where applicable. Just the facts, and nothing but the facts.

After publishing the Playing Reindeer Games page with associated screenshot documenting digital sabotage and suppression, responses arrived that underscore exactly why this record exists. To be clear, this page is not a:

  • Data dump
  • Diary
  • Gossip log

 

Awareness and Boundaries

Instead, it is the bare minimum in order to:

  • Establish professional credibility.
  • Help others follow the timeline.
  • Protect myself, those I care about, and what matters most.

 

This pages does not and will not expose confidential, sensitive, or personally identifiable information (PII). Some things will always remain in the vault— some things will always stay in the vault.

 

The Wise Operator Takes the Olive Branch

More pointedly: I am fully aware of who caused harm and who later stepped in to help. Certain signatures are unmistakable—the patterns, the timing, the footprints. People can hide many things, but they cannot hide from their own methods—or from a former Security Operations Center (SOC) Black Ops team member from what used to be the largest financial institution in the world. Certain operational patterns simply reveal themselves over time. And just because I recognize them does not mean I will ever disclose them.

That also means I recognize who extended support, and I understand that much of what I’m seeing right now is rooted in fear, not malice.

We can wear different hats and still work towards defending the same things. I may never learn to trust again. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to betray the trust of others.

 

Poking The Storm

This timeline is only here because some people never stop operating in the dark until you turn on the floodlights. Always remember that I asked nicely, more than once. This page would not exist if you had stopped. Since you asked for it, not so nicely, here it is.

Forged in Fire

The timeline wasn’t all bad, though. My experiences as a federal whistleblower resulted in the acquisition of some excellent, niche, and high-caliber skills. These were born of the necessity of navigating and asymmetric, gray zone, and highly unconventional spaces.

It took these experiences and built the following:

 

Thanks for the additional skills, boys and girls. Some education is more 

 

Eliminate Whistleblowers Forever by Building a Better Future

I don’t want anyone to endure what I did, ever again. So, this page is dedicated to my commitment to building a future where we no longer need whistleblowers because we are:

  • Doing things the right way from the start.
  • Courageous enough to admit when we get it wrong.
  • Smart enough to bring in experts to help us get it right.
  • Strong enough work to make both amends and corrections, rather than playing “delete the data,” “hide the evidence,” “point the finger,” and/or “eliminate or neutralize the whistleblower.” I jokingly refer to this activity as “playing reindeer games.”
  • Humble enough to realize we are human and forgive one another for our mistakes and knowledge gaps.
