  • 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 Manville, New Jersey, the role it presents as Senior .NET Full Stack Engineer, and the contact details above. 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 LinkedIn profile drawn from the persona's own working files, cited to that date. 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.

phonevalidator.com labels the line LANDLINE while naming Skype Communications as the carrier in the same row. The carrier is an interconnected VoIP provider, which is what the classification here follows.

Looked up 2026-09-30 at phonevalidator.com. This is a lookup of the line itself. A VoIP line is not evidence on its own.
