  • The researcher states that the operator tracked as Naoki is really named Choe Il-kuk, and that he works under Chinyong Information Technology Cooperation Company, a DPRK front company acting for Bureau 61 of the Ministry of National Defense. Naoki Murano and Chinyong both appear in this repository from other sources. This is a real-name attribution against an existing identity, which is a stronger claim than anything else in this file, and it is carried as the researcher's assertion and not as a finding of this site.
