Read on 12 September 2026 from a listing on the pipu.cc marketplace whose product description is this curriculum vitae and whose product image is the photograph shown. The listing went up on 27 June 2025 from a seller account named after the CV's subject, one of 1,882 such listings posted between 26 June and 2 July 2025 that between them hold about 1,860 CVs. The address hafizahmed.tx@gmail.com is what tied the listing to this site's index: it appears in DTEX's i3 Threat Advisory email-indicator appendix, which DTEX itself says is not evidence of a confirmed attribution and may list addresses whose real owners are uninvolved. Every other value here is read from the listing itself and is the listing's own claim. A CV in this set may be a real person's stolen document, so the name on it, and the employers and schools it lists, may belong to someone with no part in the operation. The listing carries no name of its own: the CV opens on its contact line, and the seller account is the handle hafizahmed.tx, whose tx matches the Houston address the CV gives. Hafiz Ahmed is this site reading that handle and the address it matches, not a name the page states, and the handle is kept as an alias so the page is still reachable by it. The LinkedIn account the CV links, /in/hatx/, carries the same initials. The CV prints a LinkedIn address, linkedin.com/in/hatx, which was opened under an authenticated session on 21 September 2026: it resolves to a service-quality and marketing manager in Haiphong, Vietnam, with 500+ connections, 874 followers and eight months of Vietnamese-language posts, a long-established account with no connection to a Houston developer. The CV's author evidently typed a plausible short handle rather than one they held, so the address is recorded here as the CV's claim and is not carried as an indicator, because it would point a reader at an uninvolved person.
