  • Applicant profile the researcher assesses as a DPRK IT worker. The LinkedIn account gives Senior Software Engineer, Sheridan, Wyoming, 28 connections and is marked open to work, listing Gusto and the National University of Singapore; the researcher notes it was three months old, and reads Walmart as a claimed past employer and that university as furniture these accounts reuse. The banner spells the job title SENIOR SOFTWARE EGNINEER. The name is the only value the post publishes, and it is recorded as that.
