TempleOS feels a little different because Terry was fairly well-known in the community and didn't try to hide his identity. I'm pretty sure he went to conferences and has met with actual people who could verify his identity.
I haven't seen proof that Jia Tan is a real person and to me that's the most malicious part of the attack. I'm pretty confident that whoever is hiding behind the Jia Tan identity is a well adjusted individual (or group) and knows exactly what they're doing. It feels far too coordinated and careful to chalk up to a psychotic episode or manic behavior.
