Edward Coristine, a prominent member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team, has been linked to past support for a cybercrime gang known as EGodly, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters. While still in high school in 2022, Coristine operated a company called DiamondCDN, which provided network services to EGodly. The cybercrime group boasted about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent. EGodly expressed gratitude to DiamondCDN for its assistance in a February 2023 post on the Telegram messaging app, acknowledging the company's DDoS protection and caching systems. Coristine, now 19 and known online as 'Big B----', holds the position of senior adviser at the U.S. State Department and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as part of DOGE. Elon Musk has defended Coristine, emphasizing the youth of the DOGE team.
