OilAlpha has almost exclusively relied on infrastructure associated with the Public Telecommunication Corporation (PTC), a Yemeni government-owned enterprise reported to be under the direct control of the Houthi authorities.

Per victimology assessment, it appears a majority of the targeted entities were Arabic-language speakers and operated Android devices.
