Can you look for a person whose name would be initialized as A.B?
He responded to my last email with Dubrovin and I am pretty sure its a different person

Don't take my word for it but I believe the botnet to be fictional and IG. It is possible that I simply haven't been infected, but I did a thorough virus scan last night to be certain and it turned up nothing.

It definitely is. The only way I can think of that they would have infected us (given what they've put online) is via a buffer overflow in Adobe Flash, but after decompiling pretty much every .swf we've seen, nothing remotely suspicious has come up.
And while I've never actually had a computer infected in this way, I assume you'd see something funky going on with your computer if it did happen.

i am 110% sure A. Dubrovin reads this forum, and if my hunches are correct I should be receiving a very interesting e-mail first thing in the morning (it is 3am PST here).
I can't wait.

While the PM of any game can (and usually does) read the uF forums, this resource (uF) is considered OOG (out of game) and the characters should NOT respond to anything posted here (despite what the PM may have done in the past). They might refer to uF as a "collective forum" or us as a group working together. But do not direct any character in a game to uF and do not expect them to just "know" something that is posted here.
If a PM wants a game design to include a forum type interaction with players and characters, they are free to create any resource on the internet they would like to facilitate that interaction (i.e. their own IG forum or use of facebook or MySpace or LiveJournal, etc). Which many have done in the past (or even in the present). But they are requested to NOT use uF in that manner. We are a resource for game discussions that includes META discussions that talks about the game being a game. And that would confuse a character who should not think they are not real (part of the old TINAG mentality that the characters do not know they are fictional).

Gentlemen. Our combined efforts are beginning to bear fruit. Thank you.
On a more serious note, whoever has been attempting to contact me via sat phone must stop. How you were able to acquire my personal contacts is most troubling. Your phone number has been successfully traced and you are now being monitored.
In these hours, allies and enemies can look the same. We do not take security lightly.
A. Dubrovin
We know it was you Ad_Arcana.

Surprisingly, it was not me.
And even if it was I'm lucky enough to have access to phones which are 200% untraceable.
Crossover post:
I inquired as to who his superior was after his response to some intel saying his superior was extremely pleased... This is what he had to say:

Mr. XXXX,
Your information has proven invaluable. At this very moment, Alfa-Tsentr agents are on location collecting field data. I will share whatever results Mr. Azef feels comfortable declassifying.
Best,
A. Dubrovin
Have we seen this name before?
Let's put results in the trailhead until we make more headway on it so it recieves higher visibility for now :]

Azef is unfamiliar to me. redct said that he emailed the CEO of Alfa-Tsentr though. Maybe that is who Azef is.
As for calling his satellite phone, that is ridiculous. IMO this is not the time to ruin things by screwing around with meta.
