  • 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 12 September 2026 by searching the open web for the account handles this site already holds for this operator, and read directly from the page cited. A GitLab account under the login bejaxer, one of the GitHub logins attributed to this operator, states its display name as Anthony Keller — which is the other name the same reporting files this identity under — and a member-since date of 28 February 2022. No bio, location or links.

  • Found on 17 September 2026 by asking Keybase whether an account exists under cobang, one of the logins the registry already holds for this operator, and read from the profile cited. The account states a registration date of 29 November 2019 and no display name but the handle itself. 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 17 September 2026 by asking Docker Hub whether an account exists under cobang, one of the logins the registry already holds for this operator, and read from the profile cited. The account states a registration date of 15 December 2017. 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 putting cobang, the login the registry already holds for this operator on GitHub, Keybase, Docker Hub and Hugging Face, to Maigret's username search and reading the Telegram page it reported, cited here. The page states the display name Cosby with a paw-print emoji and the bio Always grateful, which is why it is held here rather than as an alias: neither is a name a person could be searched for, and the display name restates the handle at most loosely. 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 putting cobang, the login the registry already holds for this operator on GitHub, Keybase, Docker Hub, Hugging Face and Telegram, to Maigret's username search and then asking Freelancer's public user endpoint, which answers with the account record and, for a name that does not exist, with nothing. The account is live, states the display name Cobang, a location of Jakarta, Indonesia, and a registration date of 24 October 2024. 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.
