  • Entry in the lazarus.group DPRK IT-worker registry, which asserts that these accounts belong to one operator and gives their real citizenship as North Korea. The registry publishes no methodology, so this is recorded as its claim and not as a finding of this site. Its evidence links and its cross-references to other operators in the same registry are deliberately not reproduced as indicators.

  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for every personal address the lazarus.group registry and the ZEUS-DEV-919 working document give for a persona, and keeping the accounts whose own commits are signed with one. GitHub mints a noreply address from an account's immutable numeric id, in the form id+handle@users.noreply.github.com, so former handles below are a matter of record. github.com/shaman236 is account id 37606416, created on 21 March 2018. Its noreply addresses show it was previously named 0xl2, naruto0913 and abe-sinjiro; 0xl2 is on tayvano's list of IT-worker GitHub accounts, which this index already carries, so this is that account under its current name. It signs 94 of the 100 commits GitHub's search returns for it with abe.sinjiro7@gmail.com, and six more commits in its repositories are signed real_striver@outlook.com; lazarus.group gives both addresses for Leon Lin. Its repositories, test-risk among them, are committed with those identities on the day they are created.
