The best-known member of the DOG service team of Technologists from Elon Musks once offered support to cyber crime, according to digital records assessed by Reuters.
The records show that the cyber crime gang bragged about human trafficking in stolen data and an FBI agent Cyberstalking.
As part of his role in the Department of Government Efficiency, Edward Coristine has gained access to official networks to radically reduce the US government.
The 19-year-old, who chosen the nickname “Big Balls”, ran a company that provided services to a ring of cyber criminals who, according to the digital records, dared to work under the name.
This is what we know.
Who is Edward Coristine?
Not much is known about the 19-year-old who now has access to various departments, including Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency.
But Reuters reports that two years before he came to Doge, while he still went to high school, Mr. Coristine led a company called Diamond CDN that network services provided.
In 2023, Egodly thanked the Coristine company for his help in a post on the Telegram reports -app.
“We are expanding our thanks to our valued partners DiamondCDN for generously providing their amazing DDOS protection and caching systems, with which we can safely host and protect our website,” said the message.
Musk also defended the teenager on X and tells the followers last month that “Big Balls is great”.
According to Wired Magazine and Reuters, Edward Coristine seems to have been registered at Northeastern University.
He also spent three months in Neuralink, Musk’s Brain-Computer Interface Company, last summer, wrote the magazine.
A Connecticut register from companies shows that an Edward Coristine has made three technical or computer-related companies that have included a new location of a new Canaan, Connecticut Home.
One of them, Tesla.Sexy LLC, dedicated to “professional, scientific and technological services”, still seems to be in operation.
Web -based Platform Github, with which developers can store, share and collaborate on code, shows an Edward C as the only “member” of Diamond CDN, which has now been resolved.
The Musk and Mr. Coristine team did not respond to E -mails to ask Reuters comments.
He is mentioned as a “senior advisor” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, according to an official at every agency that said Reuters that they had seen his name in the personnel directory of their respective agencies.
Is LinkedInCoristine describes himself as a “volunteer (internal) plumber” with the US government.
Bloomberg and CNN reported The 19-year-old was fired from his internship at a cyber security company in Arizona after he was suspected of leaking his own information to a crankcase.
What is Egodly?
Among the users of Diamond CDN, a website was run by a ring of cyber criminals who work under the name Egodly.
In 2023 Egodly on his telegram channel of hijacking of telephone numbers, breaking non -specified E -mail accounts of law enforcement in Latin -Arikika and Eastern Europe and theft of cryptocurrency.
At the beginning of that year, the group distributed the personal data of an FBI agent that they said they are investigating his telephone number, photos of his house and other private details about Telegram.
Egodly also posted an audio recording of joke call done on the phone’s phone and a video, made from the inside of a car, from an unknown party that drives through the agent’s house in Wilmington, Delaware at night.
They were filmed to scream out the window, “Egodly says you are a bitch!”
This has criminal activities could not be independently verified by Reuters.
But it was able to authenticate the video by visiting the same Wilmington address and comparing the building with that in the images.
The retired FBI agent who was aimed at Egodly, Reuters said that the group had attracted attention because of the connection with success, the dangerous practice to do Hoax -invades to send armed officers who swarm targeted addresses.
Concern about doge employees who have access to information
The work of the DOGE team has enabled it to gain access to the personal and financial data of millions of Americans, such as Sofi numbers.
Doge has also tried to access systems related to the US Department of Treasury Systems, which expresses concern about sensitive information that is incorrectly announced.
About 21 officials from the Ministry of Government Efficiency of Elon Musk resigned in February and say that they will not use their skills to jeopardize the sensitive data of Americans.
The employees also warned that many of those who had hired themselves to help him reduce the size of the federal government under the government of President Donald Trump, were political ideologists who did not have the necessary skills or experience for the task for them.
Coristine is just one of a coterie by young engineers on which Elon Musk trusts with little government experience in his takeover of the American federal government infrastructure.
