From Neuralink to Network Leaks: The Cybersecurity Comedy of Errors at CISA
A 19-year-old engineer, Edward Coristine, and fellow DOGE member Kyle Schutt have joined CISA, raising eyebrows due to Coristine’s alleged past ties with cybercriminals. With CISA’s role in protecting sensitive data, including election security, it’s like giving the fox a key to the henhouse.
Hot Take:
In a plot twist that even Hollywood couldn’t script, a 19-year-old, who sounds like he belongs in a Marvel movie, joins the cybersecurity elite at CISA. Edward Coristine, aka ‘Big Balls,’ must have a resume written by J.K. Rowling. With a history of hanging out with reformed hackers and a stint at a brain-computer interface company, he’s now in charge of keeping Uncle Sam’s digital secrets safe. I guess if you can’t beat ’em, hire ’em?
