A young technologist known online as “Big Balls,” who works for DOGE, has access to sensitive US government systems. But his professional and online history call into question whether he would pass the background check typically required to obtain security clearances, security experts tell WIRED.

This is exactly as the Blessed Saint Ayn Rand and her agent in government, the Blessed Saint Ronnie Raygun (PBUH), would have envisioned Galt’s Gulch in its most perfect state.
All these “job creators” - who were made rich due to being corporate welfare queens - move right into government agencies and set up their Galt’s Gulch, because they are Special Beings and obviously all the wealth this country creates is something they are entitled to just hack into and steal.
It’s such a shame the Randroid fathers/mothers aren’t around to see their rotten fruit being harvested…
I gotta say, this part :
Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers
I couldn’t care about in the least. Corporations in this country will regularly press charges against anyone pointing out security flaws in their systems. The fact that someone has been convicted of cyber crimes, only proves that they’re competent, it says nothing about their ethical standards.
Your country is being run by idiots and idiot children.
I don’t think Hanlon’s razor really applies anymore, they know exactly what they’re doing and that they can get away with it
If you can’t trust Big Balls and his sexy Tesla hackers to run the government efficiently, who can you trust?
The show Silicon Valley seemed so absurd at the time. Now I know I was too normal if anything.
Seems like something Elon would support.
Something elon IS supporting
I don’t care how rich he is. I’m embarrassed for him.
I’m not embarrassed, he should have his assets seized and he should be deported. I know he won’t suffer any consequences.
If his balls are big, that means he isn’t getting any surely.
Not a security risk at all, nosiree /s

Fuck musk and his goons, but hiring convicted hackers is pretty normal tbh.
Really? Tell me more about these normal 19-year-olds who hire convicted hackers for their companies that specifically advertise to Russia and China.
Can you read? I didnt say anything about 19 year olds or Russia or China. I just said convicted hackers. Its so common that its a running joke for the CIA/NSA to hire anyone who successfully breaches their systems. If you dont hire the people that managed to breach confidential systems, then you are not hiring the best.
Usually they get a plea deal that gives them their freedom on the condition that they work for the gov.
Do you think maybe the context here is important?
No, there was actually no added context needed as his comment was correct without any added context.
You just decided to put words into his mouth to make the comment seem incorrect
The context of the article’s headline.
But hey, easier to attack someone for no reason, am I right?
Maybe the blurb should have that added context, because otherwise it sounds like “ooo scary hackers” when it’s the Russian and Chinese connections that are scary.
I can speak to that happening in the private sector. Apple often hires famous jailbreakers, exploiters, and high-contribution bug reporters to improve their own security software, rather than prosecuting them for breach of ToS.
