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 Tyler, Texas, the role it presents as Full Stack Developer, and the contact details above. This site already holds the X account Hakeohiratani and the web3.career handle hakeohiratani, both from a May 2025 Narcass3 post that addresses the account as a DPRK operator. The name matches across two researchers working from unrelated material; the Gmail address here appears in neither of those posts. 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. 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.
