  • 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. The npm registry entry for dain-sdk, "DAIN prediction’s TS sdk", names its author as Dainmoly — the handle this operator is already indexed under — and carries the publishing account dainsm with the address dainsm@proton.me, which this site did not hold. The package repository is github.com/dainmoly/dain-sdk, versions 0.0.1 to 0.1.1, published between 1 November 2024 and 16 January 2025. The package is recorded because of who published it, not because anything about it is malicious: nothing here says this code is harmful, and it should not be read as a detection.
