The remainder was read by this site from the account itself and is cited to the page and date it was read.

  • 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 smartdev914, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. The profile gives a member-since date of 2 December 2024. It displays the name Corey Monath, 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.

  • Read on 20 September 2026 by walking the commit history of every repository on the GitHub accounts github.com/midas92 and github.com/Intel-Tiny and github.com/onedev425 and github.com/fmkt18dev, already held under this persona, and tallying the author line on every commit. A commit's author line is what the holder configured their git client with rather than anything the profile page chooses to display, so it recovers addresses the account never states. The addresses recorded here were not already in this index: bravelancers@gmail.com authored 301 commits across 11 of its repositories, commits as "midas92"; dounanpar@gmail.com authored 138 commits across 2 of its repositories, commits as "midas92"; speeddemon0115@gmail.com authored 31 commits across 7 of its repositories, commits as "Intel-Tiny"; june.dev914@gmail.com authored 2 commits across the repository onedev425/onedev425, commits as "onedev425"; fabiomkt18@gmail.com authored 2 commits across the repository fmkt18dev/testdev, commits as "fmkt18dev". Each is admitted because it commits under a name the account itself uses, which is the test that separates the holder's own address from the original author of a repository copied in. Addresses belonging to unrelated developers whose work appears in these repositories are deliberately not recorded, and an address is evidence that whoever held it wrote those commits rather than proof of who holds the account.

  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for published persona addresses and reading which account GitHub attributes the commits to. GitHub credits a commit to the account that has the signing address registered and verified, which only the holder of the mailbox can do, so an attributed account is one the address's holder controls, whichever repository the commits sit in and whenever the address was added. Counts are of the commits GitHub's search returns, up to 100. GitHub attributes 100 commits signed lucaslee971127@gmail.com, an address meow_mfer publishes for this persona, to the login VisionarySuperstar, which no longer resolves.

  • A thirteen-part investigation into a suspected DPRK IT worker the researcher describes as having been employed at ThorSwap, where three of its pull requests were merged into the SwapKit SDK that powers the exchange's cross-chain swaps. The four GitHub accounts are tied together by the recurring number patterns 914 and 425 in their handles and addresses, and to each other by a single address registered on a DPRK-operated freelancing platform the researcher reached through exposed database credentials. anthon-dev is the identity used at ThorSwap and gives the persona its name; the other handles are the portfolio, job-application and private-fork accounts the same operator ran. Three further accounts are named as collaborators on shared repositories rather than as the same person, one of them already suspended. The wallet is the factory contract for Gocheto, a separate exchange the researcher says the operator built, and is listed in the thread's own closing indicator summary. Two accounts that appear alongside these in the same repositories are ThorSwap's own employees and are recorded in the held-back list instead. The collaborator accounts and their addresses are filed separately as unattributed rather than under this persona.

  • A thirteen-part investigation into a suspected DPRK IT worker the researcher describes as having been employed at ThorSwap, where three of its pull requests were merged into the SwapKit SDK that powers the exchange's cross-chain swaps. The four GitHub accounts are tied together by the recurring number patterns 914 and 425 in their handles and addresses, and to each other by a single address registered on a DPRK-operated freelancing platform the researcher reached through exposed database credentials. anthon-dev is the identity used at ThorSwap and gives the persona its name; the other handles are the portfolio, job-application and private-fork accounts the same operator ran. Three further accounts are named as collaborators on shared repositories rather than as the same person, one of them already suspended. The wallet is the factory contract for Gocheto, a separate exchange the researcher says the operator built, and is listed in the thread's own closing indicator summary. Two accounts that appear alongside these in the same repositories are ThorSwap's own employees and are recorded in the held-back list instead. The collaborator accounts and their addresses are filed separately as unattributed rather than under this persona.

  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for published persona addresses and reading which account GitHub attributes the commits to. GitHub credits a commit to the account that has the signing address registered and verified, which only the holder of the mailbox can do, so an attributed account is one the address's holder controls, whichever repository the commits sit in and whenever the address was added. Counts are of the commits GitHub's search returns, up to 100. GitHub attributes 100 commits signed lucaslee971127@gmail.com, an address meow_mfer publishes for this persona, to the login VisionarySuperstar, which no longer resolves.

gitlab account IT Worker Fraud CURATED

First seen unknown · last seen unknown

  • 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 smartdev914, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. The profile gives a member-since date of 2 December 2024. It displays the name Corey Monath, 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.
