By June 1993, a small group of NSA cryptanalysts had succeeded in solving the first three parts of the Kryptos sculpture. This information was revealed in documents released in 2013 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by Dunin.

Elonka Dunin began working at Simutronics Corp. in St. Louis, Missouri at the start of 1990. This marks the start of her 24-year tenure at Simutronics, where she held various production and development roles. She was the product manager for GemStone III, executive producer for the Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess-based multiplayer game Alliance of Heroes. This date represents the beginning of a significant phase in her career in the online gaming industry.
