Krebs was taken for a ride by his "source" who it appears was a disgruntled employee, causing the damage.
To clarify the phrasing, the disgruntled employee caused the damage to Ubiquiti. He was the one who "hacked" Ubiquiti (actually he misused his credentials), was the "whistleblower" that fed Krebs information of his own "hack", and tried to blackmail Ubiquiti. All while he was a Ubiquiti employee... assigned to investigate the "hack."
