The first cited post states that the identity has claimed to be a Malaysian fullstack developer living in Kuala Lumpur, and separately to be in Khabarovsk and in Moscow, and that it appears as a named author on an academic paper. The accounts are listed in the second post, which is a reply in the same thread. The paper page also names a co-author, Chun-Hu Cui at fleetpro@gmail.com; that address is recorded because it co-authored the fabricated paper the post exposes, though the post names He-Song Cui rather than Chun-Hu Cui as the DPRK worker.
