  • The post asserts one identity outright, that Josh Mack and the GitHub account rossryuli are the same. The rest it states as links rather than equivalences: Kanbei is linked to mjoshalchi@gmail.com, and that address to rossryuli. The IP address is given as Russian and appears in the post immediately after the rossryuli line. The researcher writes the address without a top-level domain, as mjoshalchi[@]gmail.
