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 if you don’t live in the US: if you don’t like it, go back to your country! How dare you come here and criticize us while enjoying the lifestyle America affords you!
Americans if you don’t live in the US: If you don’t live here, shut up- you have no right to criticize because you have nothing at stake! How dare you sit there on your high horse and claim to know better?
I’m starting to think Americans just can’t handle criticism, regardless of where it’s coming from.
Sounds like you’re not a fan of criticism either. Perhaps you should consider the plank in your own eye?
I haven’t received any criticism- just told to shut up. Happy to take it if anyone wants to address my point.
You’re criticizing ordinary people for not putting their lives on the line. Something you wouldn’t do either. There’s your critique - take it or leave it (my guess would be “leave it”).
Correct. I’m criticizing ordinary people who claim to be patriots and public servants for putting their own interests first while the foundations of their democracy are under attack. Every authoritarian takeover has been made possible by bystanders. Also, “Something you wouldn’t do either” is a very weird presumption to make given that you don’t know anything about me or what I’d do.
Now here’s where you double down, get dismissive, call me a keyboard warrior, whatever. Pick your tired line.
Edit: yeah, your whole thing is very strange. Going to end this here. Defending cowards while shouting NO U isn’t the rhetorical win you think it is
And what have you done?

For which you were paid I presume. I don’t have much respect for people in the military - most I’ve known are near sociopaths concerned more about pay grades than ideals. You putting your job on the line for anyone else? Getting arrested?
