  • Hayden McKenzie publishes this as one of 53 generated female personas in a DPRK IT worker cell's account register, each built around an Outlook mailbox and a LinkedIn profile for an identity based in the Netherlands; the address above is that mailbox. The register marks no LinkedIn profile as created for it. The report The Women Behind North Korea's IT Worker Operations, published the same day, attributes the register to a first-time operative the cell calls Jasmine Bell, who built it in her first weeks after being told to favour European identities because U.S. profiles were too troublesome to create; its own table counts 57 Outlook accounts across the eight country tabs, four more than the site publishes records for. The name is a generated identity, not the operator's, and a real woman who shares it is not the worker.
