Edward Coristine, a DOGE advisor, is potentially linked to the cybercriminal group EGodly through his company DiamondCDN, which provided services to the criminals.
Coristine's Involvement with EGodly
Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE advisor, started his company DiamondCDN in 2022 while still in high school. Among its clients was a site associated with the cybercriminal group EGodly. According to internet analysis, his other businesses were also linked to this group. Neither Coristine nor DOGE has commented on the situation.
Operations and Acts of EGodly Cybercriminals
The EGodly group claims to have hacked phone numbers through law enforcement email accounts in Latin America and Eastern Europe and also siphoned cryptocurrency in 2023. They also revealed the personal details of an FBI agent and published a video of his house.
Reaction and Investigation
Neither the State Department nor the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the US has commented yet. The former FBI agent targeted by the attacks confirmed that EGodly is under investigation.
The situation remains tense, and further investigations by the authorities are expected to clarify all aspects of the interaction between DOGE and EGodly.
