Path Network

Edward Coristine, an engineer with connections to both the ‘Big Balls’ DOGE team and a past affiliation with cybercriminal community The Com, joined CISA. His potential security risks include access to sensitive infrastructure data and abilities to exploit software vulnerabilities. Coristine's history of seeking help for a DDOS attack and the leak of internal documents at Path Network raise concerns about the safeguarding of critical, sensitive information within CISA.
