Musk's DOGE Team: A 19-Year-Old Hacker and a Massive Government Data Breach

2025-02-09

Wired revealed that a 19-year-old working for Elon Musk's so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) gained access to sensitive US government systems despite his past association with cybercrime communities. This teen, a former member of 'The Com,' a distributed cybercriminal network, has raised serious concerns. Since Trump's second inauguration, DOGE has accessed vast amounts of sensitive data, controlling databases at the Treasury, OPM, and other departments. The 19-year-old, Edward Coristine, known online as "Big Balls," founded Tesla.Sexy LLC and runs the ISP Packetware, with links to cybercrime. His past actions are incompatible with government security clearance standards, leading to significant security risks and widespread lawsuits.
