    Read on 12 September 2026 from a listing on the pipu.cc marketplace whose product description is this curriculum vitae and whose product image is the photograph shown. The listing went up on 30 June 2025 from a seller account named after the CV's subject, one of 1,882 such listings posted between 26 June and 2 July 2025 that between them hold about 1,860 CVs. The address jabook425@gmail.com is what tied the listing to this site's index: it appears in DTEX's i3 Threat Advisory email-indicator appendix, which DTEX itself says is not evidence of a confirmed attribution and may list addresses whose real owners are uninvolved. Every other value here is read from the listing itself and is the listing's own claim. A CV in this set may be a real person's stolen document, so the name on it, and the employers and schools it lists, may belong to someone with no part in the operation.

  • Found on 18 September 2026 by taking the local part of an address this index already holds for this operator -- jabook425 -- and asking Hugging Face whether an account exists under it. The address is on a consumer mail host, where the local part is a login the holder chose rather than one an employer assigned; handles taken from company addresses were excluded from this pass for that reason. The account states a display name of Jacob Brookshire. The display name is kept here rather than carried as an alias, because it restates the handle, describes the work, or is too bare to be a name. The login 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.
