  • Hayden McKenzie publishes this as one of the aliases tracked across the three investigations the site cites, on a per-alias record that gives its location as Houston, Texas, the role it presents as Blockchain/Go Software Engineer, and the contact details above. The record is one of two tied to the second report, Dissecting the Identity Lifecycle, and when first read the only detail it carried beyond the contact lines was a personal site on a free Vercel subdomain, which answered on 22 September 2026. The reports describe that hosting as what the operation's own manual recommends for a persona's storefront. The alias pages carry no date of their own, so the date cited is the site's own "Updated 19 Aug 2026" stamp, the last date it states anything was published. When the site published its fourth report on 23 September 2026 the record grew by a number, a LinkedIn profile, a GitHub account and a Telegram account drawn from the persona's own working files, cited to that date. Across the site's records, +19783919978 also appears on the record for Ryan White. The name is the identity the operation presents, not the operator's; a real person whose name or details it may have been assembled from is not the worker.

  • Hayden McKenzie publishes this as one of the aliases recovered from a DPRK IT worker cell's own files, on a per-alias record that gives its location as Altoona, Iowa and the role it presents as Senior .NET Full Stack Engineer, and the contact details above. The record adds a LinkedIn profile from the persona's working files. Across the site's records, +19783919978 also appears on the record for Larry Levine. The record was not on the site when this one first read it on 22 September 2026 and appeared alongside the report The Women Behind North Korea's IT Worker Operations, published on 23 September, so that is the date cited. The name is the identity the operation presents, not the operator's; a real person whose name or details it may have been assembled from is not the worker.
