  • The post names the operator as Li Qiang, says the operator has a large number of online personas, and lists six domains under which the operator owns email addresses. The domains are transcribed from the post text, where they appear defanged; they are recorded here refanged, which is the form the rest of this dataset uses. The post also tags another account, which is a credit to a fellow researcher rather than an operator identifier, and is not recorded.
