Coristine also briefly worked in 2022 at Path Network, a network monitoring firm known for hiring reformed blackhat hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle tied to Coristine also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service later that year.
In addition to that he turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga.

The odds of this child having personal copies of terabytes of confidential information on US citizens is alarmingly high and makes them an ideal target for extortion or worse they could hold the data hostage for ransom.
Best case is Musk will use it for personal and political gain.
I do hope when this detonates a few of us are left to repopulate the species.
