  • Found on 18 September 2026 by taking the local part of an address this index already holds for this operator -- okawamasaaki916 -- and asking GitLab whether an account exists under it. The address is on a consumer mail host, where the local part is a login the holder chose rather than one an employer assigned; handles taken from company addresses were excluded from this pass for that reason. The account states a display name of Benjamin Loewe. The login 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.

  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for the addresses researchers give for this persona, and for the addresses of the accounts already filed under it. Counts of an account's own commits are over the 100 that GitHub's search returns for it. github.com/frostyalce000 is account id 177786807, created on 7 August 2024, display name Randy Ganye, bio Senior Software Engineer (AI/ML, Full-Stack, Cloud), location Reisterstown, Maryland. Its profile repository, the one GitHub shows as the account's front page, was created on 15 August 2024 and its first six commits, from 15 August to 2 December 2024, are signed Okawa Masaaki and FatherMonkey916 with okawamasaaki916@gmail.com, an address browsercookies gives for John Benrey Diohen Filio; five more on 7 July 2025 are signed with the persona's full name and airspeed.1e10@gmail.com, another address the same researcher gives for it; and two on 13 July 2025, which GitHub attributes to this account itself, also carry the author name John Benrey Diohen Filio, signed with a disposable address, mebogeucroipa-4212@dripzgaming.com. Across its repositories GitHub's search finds about 200 commits with the persona's three addresses, including miracleguy.916@gmail.com, and in ai-mobile-demo the persona's 147 commits and the account's own 151 fall in the same weeks of June and July 2025. The account signs its own recent commits frosty.alce000@gmail.com.

Counts of an account's own commits are over the 100 that GitHub's search returns for it. github.com/engineer10223 is account id 248745798, created on 9 December 2025, with one public repository.
