commit-rewriter 0.1

Simon Willison released commit-rewriter 0.1, a tool that rewrites git commit messages from the first edited commit, with a timestamped revert branch.

Simon Willison built commit-rewriter 0.1, a small web app for editing git commit messages, motivated by cleaning up Datasette security release commits that contained coding agent cruft and private issue IDs. It runs via 'uvx commit-rewriter path/to/repo' and creates a timestamped branch of the repo state before rewriting every commit from the first edited one to the most recent, allowing easy reversion.

Researchers Built a Fake Crypto Startup and Hired Three Suspected North Korean IT Workers

Security researchers hired three suspected North Korean IT workers at a fake DeFi startup, documenting forged IDs, AI-edited images and post-hire system access.

Researchers from BCA LTD, NorthScan and ANY.RUN built a fake DeFi protocol called Ballena Azul and hired three suspected Famous Chollima operatives through a real recruiting pipeline. The hires submitted inconsistent or AI-processed identity documents, including a driver's license whose metadata showed Google Gemini processing and a SynthID watermark. On day one the workers profiled their assigned VMs, checked their egress country, and one installed Chrome Remote Desktop and logged into GitHub. The findings were presented at DEF CON 34 and align with a July 31 joint government alert on DPRK IT worker schemes.
