       I've been looking at the background of Branden Spikes, the senior member of DOGE who is director of IT over at X (his OG email is b@x.com).Prior to joining up with Musk, Spikes ran a company called Spikes Browser, which tried to create a sandboxed browser environment. I met Branden in DC in 2013, and I actually used Spikes for a short while. It seems that Branden used to be married to a woman named Natalia Haldeman (she went by Natalia Spikes then). Records published by ProPublica show that Ms. Haldeman is the CEO of a nonprofit called the California Russian Foundation.https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/452775704https://unicourt.com/case/ca-la2-branden-spikes-vs-natalia-haldeman-855382?init_S=c_relc#docketsWhen I search in the breach tracking service Constella Intelligence for spikes.com, I find tons of Yandex profiles for people in Russia who have spikes.com email addresses (all phonenumbers@spikes.com).Going to keep poking at this.edit: corrected name of the foundation.

       @briankrebs I’ve been looking the Background of Brian Krebs. Prior to becoming a blogger, Krebs worked for the Washington Post, a propaganda rag.
