Summary

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE staffer nicknamed “Big Balls,” reportedly provided tech support to the cybercrime group EGodly through his company DiamondCDN.

EGodly, known for online of hacking government emails and cyberstalking FBI agent, publicly thanked DiamondCDN for DDoS protection in 2023.

Coristine, now a senior adviser at the State Department and CISA, did not respond to requests for comment.

Critics, including former CISA deputy director Nitin Natarajan, expressed concern over Coristine’s recent ties to cybercriminals while holding government network access.

    Americans are pussies. They have been telling themselves that their right to bear arms is enough, so they never bothered to learn actual resistance.

    Their schools never taught anything about fascism except “we kicked their asses and saved Europe!” so the general population just aren’t capable of recognizing fascism on the rise.

    Now that its here, they still think they can stop it by playing fair.

    Pussies.

      Implying that the “right to bear arms” crowd is the same as the “playing fair” crowd…?? Are you high or are you just that ignorant about US culture?

        Every American i ever met in real life has been in favor of civilians owning guns. Maybe some of them wanted better restrictions, but i have never met an American that wanted to get rid of all guns.

      I think plenty of them recognize it, they just can’t organize by themselves. The seeds of distrust have been planted long ago, now they’re starting to give fruit.
