  • 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.

  • Found on 13 September 2026 by probing every account handle this site already holds for this operator against GitLab, and read from the profile cited. An active GitLab account exists under rango527, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. The profile gives a member-since date of 27 August 2020. It displays the name Davron Ghafurov, which no source this site holds had attached to this operator before. The handle is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and a display name on a profile is a name the account presents, not an identification. The profile's bio, location and links render only in a browser and were not read, so nothing is claimed about them either way.

A China Unicom mobile number whose registered location is Dandong, Liaoning — the Chinese border city facing Sinuiju, and the crossing through which most DPRK cross-border traffic moves. The location is where the number is registered, not where a handset was when this was looked up.

Looked up 2026-09-13 at phonevalidator.com. This is a lookup of the line itself.
