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.
Why does everything have to be so fucking stupid? Is it really not enough that we have to watch the destruction of democracy happen before our eyes? Must it really be carried out by a group named after an early 2010s internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu with bad grammar? Do we really have to read serious reporting about the criminal connections of a 19-year-old government employee called “Big Balls?”
I just never imagined the fall of American democracy would be so… inane.
For shits and giggles, I tried to go the path of “yeah but…” starting with his nickname. Surely he was named “big balls” a decade or so ago by other people, no he named himself. Surely his previous connections are just that, previous and years if not decades old, no, it’s 2 years, at most.
“Big Balls” is 19 y/o 🙄 at this point. He gave himself that name and has ties to unknown hackers. He has “senior advisor” status, filling a role, that should likely be filled by a bureaucrat accountant - as opposed to a kid whose resume is being a ‘techbro with hacker connections’ and programming knowledge.
I just have to curse here. Jesus fucking Christ! What the hell! Dummkopf, i’idiot, idiota, was zur holle, що в біса, що в біса
He probably took big risks in online video games because he paid for an ultra low latency connection.
Yeah, it seems like the original Nazis tried to present themselves as some form of sophisticated aristocracy. They wouldn’t have had some kid from the Hitler Youth Boy Scouts called “Big Balls” reporting to Goebbels.
Maybe, maybe not.
But you cannot deny Goebbels sounds like a noise made during oral sex. Or at least it is a request for it.
This might not be the biggest problem in this story but HOW CAN YOU BE A SENIOR ADVISOR AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT AT AGE 19
Especially when he is a low-level cybercriminal.
Well in fairness, he seems to have made several companies while in high school. He was probably the only employee, but admittedly I sure didn’t have that kind of giva shit in High School. And anyway, the range of experience or knowledge needed to be “senior” in tech is absurdly large. 4 years in the work force isn’t uncommon to get to senior. Just change jobs twice and demand a title bump each time… you go from engineer to mid-level, to senior. Other people retire at 60 as a senior engineer. It’s just a dumb title.
Idiocracy was way too optimistic about the future.
It’s going to be more like Back to the Future 2 but Biff is Trump
Biff IS Trump, that’s who they based the character on
I didn’t know that but it’s obvious now you point it out.
Except we have the phrase “young people just know tech better than everyone else!” instead of: “Brawndo has what plants crave!” and we have the supposed “genius” (lol) fElon waving around a gigantic shiny chainsaw instead of Camacho’s gun…

Be sure to use a burner email and through TOR network. DO NOT USE YOUR REAL EMAIL!
The Orange Turd and his buddy Elon are running a criminal operation so sounds about right.
How much did he sell U.S. secrets for?
I’m fairly certain no one else calls him ‘Big Balls’ - I think that’s just what he calls himself. And I’m pretty certain that the only reason to have big balls is if you’re not getting any.
Sure, why not?
I mean, “we” let an unvetted, unelected supposed “genius” run this operation called “doge”, so of course, why wouldn’t unvetted teenagers with no security clearance and no relevant experience (because, how the fuck could you have enough relevant experience as a fucking TEENAGER - fucking car rental places even know this much) be involved?
Doesn’t the name just say it all?
That merit, though.
