Yeah, it’s GOST not GHOST. maybe they spell the acronym as GhOST or G(h)OST to add to the number of skipped characters.

Unfortunately GOST is already an acronym in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST
It's at least a different field though, and the world is full of endless amounts of overlapping acronyms. I was in a meeting the other day where people were talking about CFA forms, I found at least 6 different meanings across 6 different fields from finances to felines before I gave up.
