ProfEduStream argues that five days of immobility in waves one and three, plus an OP_RETURN message to a reported attacker address, are consistent with a ransom negotiation rather than typical Lazarus liquidation behaviour. The post also notes the same message author previously claimed the attack for the Islamic Republic IR. Held as a reported attribution and recovery-scenario hypothesis; none of the claims are verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
