  • Entry in the lazarus.group DPRK IT-worker registry, which publishes this identity on a page of its own and also lists Hiroto Iwaki as a fake name on its Motoki Masuo page, filing the same address under both. It is carried here as one persona on the registry's own assertion that the two names 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 handles this site already holds for this operator. The page is a jobseeker profile on Cryptojobslist under the handle iwakihiroto, which is the GitHub login a researcher attributes to this persona, and it advertises for work: "Full stack blockchain developer and smart contract security auditor in Japan. Remote, Part-time, Full-time. In crypto since 2020." The full name and any linked accounts sit behind a sign-in, so only what the page shows anonymously is recorded. That the handle is the same is the link; nothing here establishes that the same person holds both.
