Hmmm. Apologies owed - Helen may have caught the second round of an old story about "Big Balls" (Corsatine) - I'm seeing a report this morning that so far seems to have new facts in the older story. Alt NPS post on FB from the morning of March 27.

On February 15, 2023, EGodly publicly thanked Coristine’s company in a post on the messaging app Telegram:
“We extend our gratitude to our valued partners DiamondCDN for generously providing us with their amazing DDoS protection and caching systems, which allow us to securely host and safeguard our website.”
Until now, Coristine’s ties to EGodly have not been publicly reported. He has not responded to requests for comment. Musk’s DOGE team also did not reply to questions about Coristine’s role.

What Did EGodly Do?
The EGodly group was involved in several high-profile cybercrimes, including:
- Doxxing and harassment of an FBI agent – including posting their personal information, photos of their home, and a prank call recording.
- Swatting – making fake emergency calls to dispatch armed officers to people’s homes.
- Phone number hijacking – intercepting and taking control of phone numbers.
- Infiltrating law enforcement email accounts – including in Latin America and Eastern Europe.
- Cryptocurrency theft – stealing digital assets from individuals or platforms.
- Operating a leak site (dataleak.fun) – distributing stolen data and other sensitive information.

This situation could have been avoided entirely if DOGE staffers were required to undergo proper background checks and obtain security clearances—steps that would have prevented someone with known ties to a cybercrime group from gaining access to sensitive government systems and your data.
