Fact-check

A6 Established · Record · verdict: holds

Both captured GitHub advisories list exactly these four handles as 'Reporter' (A6, the record itself). The affiliations in brackets are inferred from handle suffixes and other pages (Calif's '@lcfr_hax', Wiz author Sagi Tzadik, the Foundation's thanks to Amy Burnett of OpenAI Codex Security), not stated by the advisories.
