- Adafruit received a demand letter from Flux's legal counsel, former FBI chief of staff Jonathan F. Lenzner, on May 22, 2026.
- The letter demanded Adafruit refrain from publishing an article that includes what it calls false and potentially defamatory claims about Flux's intellectual property, commercial traction, and user base.
- Flux also asserted claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, but Adafruit states it accessed only publicly available information due to a server misconfiguration.
- Adafruit's reporting is described as addressing a public security interest and conducted as part of responsible disclosure practices.
- Adafruit is temporarily halting blog publications while considering its response to the legal demands.
- The company plans to provide updates to the community as needed, with press contact available via email.
