that, according to DeFi researcher @Zun2025 posted on X platform, "MetaMask hired a DPRK-linked hacker as a developer without even conducting a proper background check that could have revealed his identity.The hacker's GitHub username is imyugioh, and he has been publicly listed on the Lazarus Group website since September 2025, yet MetaMask still hired this individual in March 2026. Source: lazarus.group/team/mauro-liu. Imagine that one of the largest wallets granted core code repository access to someone already on a publicly known list of DPRK hackers. Now think about what might happen to those small protocols with absolutely no security teams."Earlier reports stated that a North Korean hacker, Tyler Knapp, infiltrated the MetaMask team. He entered MetaMask through a long-term cooperating human resources supplier via an outsourcing arrangement, bypassing the background checks of the company's direct recruitment process. He worked at the company for a month and participated in the development of the wallet's fiat on/off ramp functionality. During this period, his IP address and behavioral anomalies were detected by the company's security monitoring. The company immediately revoked all his access permissions and suspended the release of all products he had worked on. No substantial data or financial losses have been caused so far.
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 18 report pointed out that Moonshot AI released the Kimi K3 model, with 2.8 trillion parameters, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to top the Arena.ai coding leaderboard, with API pricing at $2.3 per million tokens setting a new high for Chinese models. Two days after the release, Zhipu AI fell 28%, MiniMax fell 16%, Nasdaq 100 index futures fell over 1.8%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index cumulatively fell over 18% from highs. Goldman Sachs believes Kimi K3 marks a turning point: a Chinese lab unable to match the largest pre-training compute capacity in the West rapidly narrowed the gap with top US models through architectural innovation and reinforcement learning, proving that "scaling" is no longer the only winning path. Goldman Sachs warns that the "compute expansion era" may be ending, and the AI infrastructure investment logic built around "the more compute, the better" needs to be rewritten. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on MiniMax and Neutral on Zhipu AI. Future focus should be on the intensive launch of 2-5 trillion parameter models such as Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax M3 Pro.
