DOGE Now Has Access to the Top US Cybersecurity Agency
1 min read
Summary
Two engineers who worked with US entrepreneur Elon Musk on his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have taken jobs at the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), according to government sources.
Edward Coristine, described as a 19-year-old DOGE operative, has worked for various government departments since January, including the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Technology, where he may have had access to sensitive information.
His brief stint at Neuralink and previous ties with network monitoring firm Path Network and a hacker group have raised eyebrows.
He is now listed as a senior advisor at CISA, where in 2018 it began helping state and local election offices to secure their networks and worked closely with the FBI and NSA.
The arrival of DOGE team members at CISA raises questions as to what level of access Coristine will have and what implications this may have for government security.
