## Research notes

- JSON-LD datePublished 2024-10-18T15:29:40+00:00; article:published\_time matches.
- Netskope's own framing is cautious - 'might indicate the resurfacing of Bumblebee' - so this is evidence of a possible, not confirmed, operator return.
- The dataset already holds src\_bleepingcomputer\_bumblebee\_returns (2024-10-21), which reports on this Netskope research; this is the underlying primary technical write-up.
