If I had to guess, I'd say "same".  Although I've not been directly 
involved in investigating them, I believe that the account information 
is different in each case, but they're "similar enough" to suggest a 
common factor.

They've been pretty active in the US, and a check of 
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions?c=United%20States#3/44.82/-113.61 
usually finds messages from people to spammers saying "I reverted this 
because..."

Best Regards,

Andy
