A new type of fileless remote access trojan (RAT) named RemotePE has been identified by cybersecurity analysts, according to ChainCatcher. The malware is reportedly being used by the North Korean-linked cybercrime group Lazarus Group to attack banks and cryptocurrency companies. RemotePE operates entirely in memory, making it difficult for traditional antivirus and forensic tools to detect. Attackers impersonate trading company employees on Telegram, using fake Calendly and Picktime links for social engineering attacks. The malware is deployed in three stages—DPAPILoader, RemotePELoader, and RemotePE—without touching the file system, employing process hollowing, anti-analysis checks, and encrypted C2 communications to evade detection.
The malware was first discovered in September 2025. In the first four months of 2026, the Lazarus Group has stolen approximately $577 million in crypto assets, accounting for 76% of the global total of crypto thefts. Since 2017, the group has accumulated a total of $6 billion in stolen funds.

According to the announcement from Binance, the Binance Wallet has launched a new feature called Event Rush, allowing users to trade on the outcomes of real-world events. This innovative feature, powered by the 42.space protocol on the BNB Chain, transforms real-world outcomes into tradable tokens. Users can engage in a dynamic trading experience where timing and accuracy are crucial. Each event, such as a sports match, offers a set of possible results, each represented by an Event Token. Traders can purchase these tokens using USDT on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
Event Rush offers two main strategies for token holders. Traders can sell their Event Tokens before the event concludes, with token prices fluctuating based on demand. Alternatively, they can hold their tokens until settlement. If the chosen outcome is correct, traders receive a share of the entire prize pool, proportional to their holdings of the winning Event Tokens. The feature boasts an uncapped upside, with winners splitting the full prize pool. The larger the losing side, the greater the potential win. Token prices are determined by a Bonding Curve based on trading activity, ensuring continuous trading without liquidity gaps.
Event Rush covers a wide range of events, including sports results, crypto price targets, and news outcomes, with new events added regularly. To participate, users must open the Binance Wallet, navigate to the new Events tab, select an event, and purchase the desired Event Token using their USDT balance on BSC. A service fee applies to every transaction, and a dynamic exit fee, known as the Redeem Tax, is charged when selling close to the event's end date. Event Rush is available to all verified Binance Wallet users, though access may be restricted in certain regions due to legal and regulatory requirements.

Squid, a cross-chain routing protocol, has clarified its involvement in a recent attack reported by Blockaid.
