GovExec, About: "In March of 2020, we committed our entire organization to creating the leading sales and marketing intelligence company serving the public sector" (added emphasis)
I.e, it may just be that the that the story is written by an organization that is losing it's funding.

I don't get your joke, but thanks! Heh :)
You said whiter than white when I just gave a link to the page about grey hat hackers, not endorsing the name grey hat, so I said allow hat instead of white hat and deny hat instead if allow hat to mirror allowlist/denylist in place of whitelist/blacklist.
It'd be interesting to do as much investigative journaling as has been done into Coristine with others in this department. I've seen very few people survive the majority of the media apparatus going through their lives with a fine-tooth comb. And I'm not justifying anyone here. From my limited perspective, the guy doesn't belong anywhere near this place, but then again, I might have the same perspective for multiple…
Other members of DOGE are getting dissected for past racist posts, but I personally think that's a lot less interesting and concerning than the historical leak allegations against this dude. DOGE will fire everybody except their own people. I think that double standard drives even more interest.

Yes unfortunately this is much more specific than "cyber researchers interacting with cybercriminals" > Coristine was fired from a company after leaking internal firm secrets to a competitor ...and now has physical access to building facilities at CISA
I don't know, in those situations how can you tell? Based off of this reporting it's not conclusive. May have just been a junior they landed blame on for some issues with competitors?

The (linked in article) Krebs article is pretty damning, including screenshots of why he was fired.

That doesn't feel like a very convincing argument if you already believe that Elon, Donald, etc don't have the interests of the American taxpayers in mind... Given that they are also American taxpayers.
Let's be honest, if someone hates Elon/Donald/etc. then there is no argument that will convince them that everything they do isn't the worth thing to ever happen to America.
How are the real taxpaying Americans supposed to hold them accountable? Where is the oversight board looking to ensure essential social services stay available? It all seems like a recipe for disaster - love them or hate them, Elon and Trump have obvious conflicts of interest that make this process disturbing.

I don't understand why people think this means he should be given unilateral goodwill and authority. Honestly I don't think any of the people saying it really believes that. If they did, the same logic would apply to Biden and Obama and anyone questioning them would be questioning democracy. Yet somehow this 'will of the people so it must be good' only showed up when Trump was elected.
Is he given that tho? Delegation is not infinite indulgence

The recent KrebsOnSecurity goes into why this is no joke. These are cybercriminals trading in fraud, pig butchering, illegal pornography and swatting attempts.
Isn't he just chatting on there? Can you point to something in the article that's conclusive? Seems like desperate reaching.
Takes one to know one. These days a criminal record is no bar for any computer-related thing...or at least it shouldn't be. However, it'd be prudent to monitor what they're keeping. Anyone who's any good will be keeping little nuggets of stuff for the future.
