Value written to the EtherRAT resolver contract 0x45729d7424d7310a0c041a2906ba95a4bd5ebfca by operator wallet 0xa001d3863b138ed523f255f62725ab1ddc82af87 on 2026-03-17, as recorded in the contract's setString events. This is an on-chain observation by this site, not a value carried in published reporting. The contract was found by its identical bytecode and setString event to published EtherRAT resolvers (keccak256 of runtime code 484c7fb94d7084807bf4385d4c7fe9bd768ecb92669c162fac9ab299b28f302e). RDAP shows the domain registered on 2026-03-17, the day it was written, through Tucows Domains Inc. with nameservers 1-you.njalla.no and 2-can.njalla.in and 3-get.njalla.fo, the Njalla privacy-registrar pattern that other EtherRAT operator domains share. The registration pattern, not the name, is what separates this from the parked and compromised-site values operators also write. The label rests on Sysdig's attribution of the EtherRAT family; one deployment of the family (The DFIR Report) ended in The Gentlemen ransomware with no nation-state named, so this entry carries low confidence and is not itself a DPRK attribution.
