In our last article we identified Jinan Quanxin Technology Co. Ltd. (济南全欣方沅科技有限公司) and the Jinan Anchuang Information Technology Co. Ltd. (济南安创信息科技有限公司) as companies associated with Guo Lin (郭林), a likely MSS Officer in Jinan.
Jinan Fanglang Information Technology Company
As disclosed previously by this blog, the antorsoft[.]com domain name listed the main address for Jinan Quanxin Fangyuan as 238, Jing Shi Dong Lu, Jinan, China.
In our last post, we stated that a source whose identity we had verified had named an MSS Officer in Jinan who was believed to be involved in Cyber operations. We are now in a position to reveal that the name provided to us is 郭林 (Guo Lin). Open source research conducted by analysts working for Intrusion Truth quickly revealed a potential candidate for Guo Lin.
Guo Lin, Masters Student
An IT security paper from 2007 called ‘基于多维角度的攻击分类方法‘ (Method of Classifying Attacks Based on Multi-dimension) was authored by a Guo Lin in which he described himself as a Masters student conducting research into network and information security and malicious code detection. Guo was a Computer Science student at Nanjing University (not Jinan), making it uncertain whether he is indeed the same individual in Jinan named in our tip.
