A senior cybersecurity adviser to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign spent years affiliating with a hacking organization and boasted on a personal blog about breaking into her neighbor's computers.

Jackie Singh, who joined the Biden campaign in July as a senior cyber incident responder and threat analyst, was an affiliate of the hacking organization the Gay N----- Association of America, once headed by white nationalist Andrew Auernheimer.

Logs obtained by the Washington Examiner from various Internet Relay Chat rooms, a messaging platform dating back to the 1980s that is popular with hackers, show Singh to be a contributor to a toxic culture of overt racism. In August, Singh wrote on Twitter that her role with the Biden campaign focused on "working tirelessly to ensure the digital safety of this campaign."

From 2009 to 2016, Singh, under the username "jax," routinely spammed advertising for the GNAA, which relied upon shock messaging to attract members, in IRC channels. Screenshots show that Singh used the same handle, "jax," on Stickam, a defunct streaming platform popular in the mid-2000s.

Evidence providing a picture of Singh's background raises questions about the vetting process of the Biden campaign in its hiring, seven weeks before the Democratic nominee faces President Trump for the keys to the White House.

“People who are well respected don’t come from trolling or hacking groups. There’s been a culture shift there. Companies don’t want to hire people with sketchy backgrounds," said Gene Spafford, a leading cybersecurity expert and Purdue University computer science professor. "They want people who are trustworthy. There are insider threat problems."

The GNAA, described by the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium as an "extremist right wing terrorist group," has claimed responsibility for a variety of attacks on webpages and businesses, including on then-candidate Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign page, and vandalizing the Wikipedia pages for Hillary and Bill Clinton in 2016.

Probably half the people who belong to internet "white supremacist" troll groups aren't even white. Trolling is 4D chess at this point.

Anonymity makes it possible for anybody to act however they please on the internet. That is, until they inevitably get caught, because the internet might not be as "anonymous" a place as it may seem.

Eh, most security programmers worth their salt started as hackers anyways. Tend to be not the cleanest groups, but that's where the skills lie.

It'd be like grabbing an ex cartel member to help stop smuggling as well as kidnapping security. They know the tricks, and know better than most how to then thwart them. Checkered pasts galore there.

How does a non-white person get involved in a white nationalist group?

Yay! another topic about racism....

 

[FireKidWS]

Always funny when liberals slowly start to realize most of their feared “online white supremists” are non-white trolls laughing at their anger.

Is it sexist that I'm impressed a woman did that?

If she's just handling his cyber security, I see no problem.

If it was Trump she'd be in the Cabinet.

Imagine how relieved we would all be if, instead of being a senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller was just some tech consultant or guy who helped Trump pronounce three syllable words.

Seriously though I was under the impression that most internet security people were former reformed hackers. If there are more specific comments and actions that will make this person a liability he might have to cut her loose.
