You may have heard about the barely pubescent kids currently trying to run rampant through government computer systems that handle trillions of dollars in transactions and data on millions of Americans.
As Wired has reported, one is Edward Coristine, 19, a freshman at our very own Northeastern University, whose father built a Connecticut-based popcorn concern called LesserEvil.
As the Independent reports:
He is listed as an "expert" within internal Office of Personnel Management records and reportedly appeared on a General Services Administration staff call, who did not know who he was or why he was there.
Another of the junior-grade masterminds is Ethan Shaotran:
As a high school student in Silicon Valley, Shaotran was given money by his parents to invest in stocks, the Daily Beast reports. He studied computer science at Harvard and was named runner-up in a hackathon held by Musk's AI company xAI.Â
Shaotran's Harvard page lists his work in AI and says when not busy coding, he likes mountaineering and scuba diving.
Lest you be wondering why no MIT students are involved - that we know of - Shaotran is "cross registered at MIT" and also the Harvard Business School.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!
