  • Published on 17 May 2025 in a thread the researcher opened with "Lets play a profile picture game! Here are a few fun DPRK ITW/remote worker profile pics and their associated emails." Each post in it pairs one address with the profile photograph used alongside it. This entry is one such post: the address holloway.william.b@gmail.com and the picture below it. The photograph is mirrored here because these posts are the only published record of the face an operator presented, and the accounts they came from are routinely deleted. It is not evidence of who operates the address: a profile picture in this dataset is as likely to be generated, stock, or taken from an uninvolved person. This is the thread’s closing post and the one exception to its one-address-per-picture shape: it carries two addresses and a GitHub account together — holloway.william.b@gmail.com, agronkercishta.ai@gmail.com and github.com/goldgrandmaster — and the researcher does not say whether they belong to one operator or to three. The photograph is filed here, with the first address; the other two remain recorded as unattributed values rather than being gathered onto this page. The name is this site reading the address, not a name the researcher gave: the post pairs an address with a picture and attributes neither to anybody.

Disclaimer An entry here is not proof of DPRK affiliation or wrongdoing. A listed name, account or address may belong to an uninvolved person, so each entry is a lead to verify independently. What inclusion means. William Holloway as the name of the operator is the cited researcher’s assertion, repeated here as their claim.
