    Address that appeared as a value written to EtherRAT resolver contracts, per Atos's list of domains and addresses found in contract events (first seen 2026-01-03, last seen 2026-03-02, 3 occurrences). A value an operator writes to the contract is the address the implant is sent to, but this site has not observed the host serving anything. Atos names no actor of its own: it repeats Sysdig's link between EtherRAT and the DPRK Contagious Interview tooling and notes code overlap with a tool eSentire attributed to an Iranian group, so this entry is filed under the unattributed DPRK label.
