  • Newly created LinkedIn profile the researcher assesses as a DPRK IT worker, giving Full Stack .Net Engineer at Korn Ferry, Nacogdoches, Texas, 180 connections, marked open to work, and listing Nova Southeastern University. The post says the identity also holds Calendly, HackerRank and Glassdoor accounts and that the portrait is generated.

  • Read on 18 September 2026 from GitHub's user search on the persona's name, which returned one account: brandon-dev-star, display name Brandon Humble, location Nacogdoches Texas, public email humblebrandon18@gmail.com, created 12 July 2024, no followers and following nobody, three repositories dated November and December 2024 of which one is described as a .NET and Angular to-do list and another is a QA Wolf take-home assignment. The city and the .NET stack are the ones the researcher's April 2025 capture gives for the Full Stack .Net Engineer account, and the login follows the name-dev-word pattern this site has seen on eric-dev-stevens. The LinkedIn address was not readable in the researcher's capture; Google's index carried it on the same day under the title Brandon Humble - Software Engineer - Korn Ferry, the employer the capture shows, and the page itself returned LinkedIn's does-not-exist notice when opened under an authenticated session, so the account is recorded as removed. Calendly and HackerRank, which the researcher named as platforms the identity was on, were probed under the obvious handles and hold nothing under them. The name is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and the entry records what the account itself states.
