Exhibit 99.1
Cycurion Amends Complaint to Identify Individual Behind Anonymous Defamatory Campaign on Stocktwits and Reddit; Investigation Continues
MCLEAN, Va., April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU), a leading provider of advanced IT cybersecurity solutions and AI-driven innovations for government, enterprise, and critical infrastructure clients, today announced a significant development in its proactive efforts to combat online defamation, misinformation, and market manipulation targeting the Company and its leadership.
Through court-ordered subpoenas, advanced cross-platform data correlation, breach intelligence analysis, and proprietary identity verification tools, Cycurion’s internal cybersecurity team, experienced in national security level operations, successfully unmasked the pseudonymous accounts “E1111” on Stocktwits and “em2391” on Reddit and traced them directly to Michael S. Emo in Madera, California. These accounts posted dozens of false, malicious, and defamatory statements accusing Cycurion of being a “scam,” engaging in “death spiral financing,” “pump and dump” schemes, and other fabricated wrongdoing, while personally attacking CEO Kevin Kelly with baseless claims of fraud, personal debt, and incompetence.
An Amended Complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Case No. 1:26-cv-00489), naming Emo as the defendant previously identified as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2. The filing details how court-ordered subpoenas to Stocktwits and Reddit, combined with matching IP addresses, email records, geolocation data, and other forensic links, confirmed Emo’s identity and location. Cycurion and Kelly are seeking substantial compensatory and punitive damages, along with injunctive relief to halt further defamatory publications and require removal of the offending posts.
“Our team has the products, capabilities, and tradecraft to identify those who hide behind anonymity to spread lies and harm our shareholders,” said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion. “We tracked and identified these accounts, and our investigation continues. We will not tolerate this behavior. This same expertise is a service we provide to clients facing similar online threats, and it has already helped other organizations protect their reputations and shareholder value. We are also actively pursuing those responsible for the recent fraudulent unauthorized press release, as well as bad-faith actors engaged in coordinated short-selling efforts and the dissemination of false information intended to depress our stock price.”
Cycurion’s internal cybersecurity team continues to monitor and investigate additional bad actors. The Company remains focused on executing its strategic priorities: expanding its contract backlog with real government and enterprise clients, advancing its proprietary ARx platform and other AI-enhanced cybersecurity offerings, and delivering long-term value to shareholders while upholding the highest standards of compliance and transparency.
“Cycurion is a legitimate, growing cybersecurity company with genuine contracts, proven technology, and a mission to protect critical systems,” Kelly added. “We are committed to ensuring the truth prevails and defending the integrity of our business and the public markets.”
