  • Hayden McKenzie's report names Joy (Joey) as the other operative placed at the same consultancy through MageHire, listed in Shenyang, with a client address beginning joy.huang@ (domain withheld). A GitHub account named Joy, maxvmiracle, follows only MageHire's company account and is followed back; see the MageHire indicators. A Slack screenshot the report publishes shows MageHire's CEO giving the client linkedin.com/in/erik-huang-full-stack as Joy's LinkedIn.
