Entry in the lazarus.group DPRK IT-worker registry, which asserts that these accounts belong to one operator. The registry publishes no methodology, so this is recorded as its claim and not as a finding of this site. Its evidence links and its cross-references to other operators in the same registry are deliberately not reproduced as indicators.

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 scott_brown_b611d05a865cf, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. It gives a joined date of Jul 22, 2024. It displays the name Scott Brown, the same name the reporting already gives. The profile links a GitHub account, nevermindhim. It gives a location of Bergen, Norway. 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.

Found on 18 September 2026 by taking the local part of an address this index already holds for this operator -- scottbrown0629 -- and asking GitLab 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 Scott Brown. 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.
