  • Found on 12 September 2026 by probing the platforms an operator usually reuses a login on, for the handles this site already holds, and read directly from the page cited. A GitLab account under hodlwarden, one of the logins attributed to this operator, created on 9 April 2026 — months after the reporting that named the handle, which makes it the only account here the operator is known to have opened since being written about. It displays "Hodl Warden", which is the handle spaced out rather than a name, and carries no bio, location or links.
