  • 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. Two GitLab accounts exist under two of the logins attributed to this operator, and each presents a different name again: gsofter is "Adelin Ionut", a member since 17 August 2021, and guru2921 is "Guru Softwaremaster", a member since 27 February 2020. Neither carries a bio, a location or a link. Two accounts under this operator’s handles presenting two further unrelated names is the pattern this dataset shows throughout, and it is why a name on any of these pages is treated as what the account presents rather than as an identification. 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.
