Raden Wilford's article maps the commit history of the identity the lazarus.group registry files as Mauro Liu: 1,558 commits over seven years across 68 repositories and seventeen organisations, including Harmony, MetaMask and DefiLlama. It binds the GitHub account imyugioh, id 54774811, and its former logins raptor1001, ethlocker, 0xlocker and burndai by noreply addresses; adds 0xllaCh, which holds the contract work; and adds a second account, id 39268153, with the logins gmspacex, holy-pengy, 0xMars, zeusdice and firekingsid, which it ties to the mauroliu77 half by 279 of 279 matching author times and tree hashes. It records that commits under one address declared Asian and Western clocks on forty-four days of the same repository, which it reads as more than one operator on one identity, and it states that no exploit is attributed to the identity. The article names daiki-iu, a collaborator on HedgePie, as a registry alias of the persona; that is carried only in this note. Its X handles 0xchamel and zhExcal and the alias Xu Liu are what the article reports the registry entry to carry.

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.
