Not trying to absolve Bryan of making those mistakes, but let's be real, he is a security professional, not a specialist on how telephony works all over the world, and neither he is a linguistics specialist.
As long as the factually relevant info is correct and the reasoning is sound (even with those mistakes), it is ok. I am totally fine with the author not knowing that in russian language, the woman's last name would be "Kulkova" and not "Kulkov". Doubly so, given that a lot of digital systems and pieces indeed would record her last name as "Kulkov". Despite those mistakes, the post still makes perfect sense in its chain of reasoning, and none of it changes the conclusion.
For a specific example - my mother and I (who have that same difference in last names, as I am a man, and she is a woman) occasionally receive emails from businesses that mess the last name up (i.e., i would get emails writing my last name with that women-specific "-a" suffix, and she would get emails without it). It doesn't happen often, but it has been happening occasionally over the years.
