  • Hayden McKenzie publishes this as one of the aliases tracked across the three investigations the site cites, on a per-alias record that gives its location as Warsaw, Poland, the role it presents as Senior Elixir/Go Software Engineer, and the contact details above. The record is one of two tied to the second report, Dissecting the Identity Lifecycle, and the only record in the set naming a GitHub account. The account MichalJankowsk exists, created 6 October 2023 and holding nine public repositories when it was checked on 22 September 2026; the personal site on a free Vercel subdomain answered the same day. Neither was read further here, and the association is the one the alias page makes. The alias pages carry no date of their own, so the date cited is the site's own "Updated 19 Aug 2026" stamp, the last date it states anything was published. When the site published its fourth report on 23 September 2026 the record grew by a number and a Telegram account drawn from the persona's own working files, cited to that date. The name is the identity the operation presents, not the operator's; a real person whose name or details it may have been assembled from is not the worker.

  • Read 24 September 2026. The persona's site links github.com/nmdev0217, now deleted, rather than the MichalJankowsk account Hayden McKenzie gives. MichalJankowsk (created 6 October 2023) signs its own commits michal.jankowski003@gmail.com. Its repository Vpn-Valut, created 23 October 2023, carries April and May 2023 merges re-signed with that address over another developer's pull requests, and on 5 July 2024 it merged two commits signed by the Larry Levine persona, larrylevine312@gmail.com: the two personas working in one repository.
