Research: North Korean hacker group Lazarus uses Git Hooks to conceal malware
According to ChainCatcher, based on research by OpenSourceMalware, the North Korean hacker group Lazarus has adopted new methods in malicious activities targeting developers, such as "Infectious Interview" and "TaskJacker". Specifically, they are hiding secondary loaders in the pre-commit scripts of Git Hooks. “Infectious Interview” refers to a series of attacks where the group forges recruitment processes in the cryptocurrency/DeFi sector to lure developers into cloning malicious code repositories, ultimately stealing crypto assets and credentials.
Researchers advise developers who are asked to clone code repositories as part of an interview process to be wary of such risks. It is best to run these operations in an isolated environment to avoid exposing personal browser configurations, SSH keys, and crypto wallets.

Crude oil is "coming back", but refined oil is "not coming back"; the global refining gap is widening.
According to Goldman Sachs, global refined oil exports have declined by about 6 million barrels per day year-on-year, with the Gulf region and Russia contributing three-quarters of the decrease. Unlike crude oil, which can be rerouted, damaged refineries cannot be relocated, and the Gulf region's refined oil exports have only recovered to 40% of pre-war levels. Goldman Sachs expects global refinery utilization rates to recover only by the second half of 2027; based on this, it has more than doubled its forecast for diesel profit margins in 2027.
