According to Digital Asset, the security platform OpenSourceMalware revealed in a program on October 21 that a North Korea-linked hacking group is using a technique called Contagious Interview, luring job seekers in the cryptocurrency industry through LinkedIn to invite them to visit private code repositories and install software packages required for development tasks.The attackers set up a .npmrc configuration file in the repository, causing npm to download dependencies from a specified external package repository instead of the public registry, which could potentially execute malicious code during the installation process and reduce the likelihood of being detected by public security scans. Paul McCarty, co-founder of OpenSourceMalware, stated that this type of technique has been observed recently among attackers. The specific number of victims, affected companies, or the amount of digital asset losses has not yet been disclosed.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that due to the ongoing tensions in the Gulf region and Ukraine's increased attacks on Russian refineries, Brent crude oil prices remain above $100 per barrel. The rise in oil prices is transmitting through the global economy, pushing up production, service, and commodity costs, further permeating inflationary pressures into the economic system, and potentially increasing the risk of economic slowdown, thereby limiting market liquidity, especially for funds flowing into high-risk assets like Bitcoin.Darkfost pointed out that from a long-term trend perspective, when Brent crude oil remains above the annual average and enters a strong upward trend, BTC tends to show slower performance; conversely, when oil prices drop significantly, BTC is more likely to experience a recovery. However, he emphasized that this does not mean there is a simple direct causal relationship between oil prices and BTC; what truly affects risk assets is the macroeconomic environment accompanying high oil prices. In July of this year, oil prices briefly retreated, providing BTC with an opportunity to rise, but Brent crude has since rebounded significantly. Although funds may still rotate between different markets, driving BTC to continue its upward trend, the current macro environment is not conducive to sustained new liquidity flowing into the market.
