“The leaker was posting censored screenshots on 4chan of his desktop folder with the thumbnails,” the 4chan poster said. “In this one he forgot to block out the labels on his homegroup and his network. His homegroup: Tristan. Other computers on his network: BARTANDJENNA and BH. So after a bit of Google searching, I found this site for southern digital media. And check out the names of the team: Jenna, Bart, Bryan Hamade (BH) and Tristan, the 15 year old intern.”
It took just minutes for yet another anonymous user to put the pieces together on the plain-text archive site Pastebin, where an interested party was able to successfully link Bryan to the Reddit username through Bryan’s account on the video game site Steam, in which BluntMastermind lists his name as “Bryan Hamade” in his bio.
Early the next morning, a hastily photoshopped image started circulating on the photo-sharing site Imgur that laid out the case against Bryan: the exposed network drives and the link between BluntMastermind and his real identity, along with a picture of the accused.
