  • One post listing three names together with a single pool of addresses, phone numbers, accounts and portfolio sites, under the heading the researcher gives it. The post does not say which value belongs to which name, and it does not say the three are one operator, so only the values that name a person themselves are attributed. Everything else is recorded as a group. Independently, Group-IB's research on a reusable persona shell it tracks as cybersage14 names Dejan-Teofilovic as an identity that account shifted to, and the GitHub account under that name was already indexed from that report; this post is a second, separate citation for it.

  • The GitHub account is read by hand from the third attached screenshot, a profile page headed Awesome with the handle 7CodeWizard, 73 repositories and 1.2k followers, and from a second capture of a bare profile card reading Jaron Gaston with no followers. This entry is browsercookies writing about the same name meow_mfer wrote about separately in June 2025. The two citations are independent, and the site groups them under one persona because they name the same identity.

  • Found on 13 September 2026 by probing every account handle this site already holds for this operator against dev.to, and read from the profile's own public API. An account exists under 7codewizard, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. It gives a joined date of Jul 9, 2024. It displays the name Jaron Gaston, the same name the reporting already gives. It gives a location of Murphysboro, IL, USA. The handle is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and a display name on a profile is a name the account presents, not an identification.
