According to a research report released by cybersecurity firm Expel, the company is tracking an advanced persistent threat (APT) group dubbed “HexagonalRodent,” which is highly assessed to be a North Korean (DPRK) state-sponsored actor. This group primarily targets Web3 developers and specializes in stealing high-value digital assets—including cryptocurrencies and NFTs. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, the group compromised 2,726 developer devices and stole access credentials for 26,584 cryptocurrency wallets, with the total value of stolen assets reaching as high as $12 million. The group primarily carries out its attacks via fake job postings—publishing lucrative positions on LinkedIn and Web3 recruitment platforms to lure job seekers into completing “skills assessments” embedded with malicious code. These assessments exploit VSCode’s tasks.json functionality to automatically execute malware when victims open the project folder. The malware used includes BeaverTail, OtterCookie, and InvisibleFerret, all of which possess capabilities such as password theft, remote control, and reverse shell execution. Notably, the group extensively leverages generative AI tools—including ChatGPT and Cursor—to develop malware, build counterfeit corporate websites, and generate AI-forged executive teams. It even registered a shell company in Mexico to enhance the credibility of its operations. Additionally, the group recently carried out its first-ever supply-chain attack, successfully infiltrating a VSCode extension.

According to The Defiant, the NFT marketplace Foundation has permanently shut down following the failed sale to digital art display company BlackDove. Its platform infrastructure has been taken offline, and there are currently no plans to relaunch it. Foundation’s founder, Kayvon Tehranian, stated that the company had originally hoped to extend its operations through the sale, but the deal fell through—and the team concluded there was no need to continue seeking a buyer. Foundation previously facilitated approximately $230 million in primary sales. The report notes that BlackDove, after conducting comprehensive due diligence following operational handover, decided instead to build its own proprietary marketplace. Foundation also announced it will continue providing a fixed one-year service for media and metadata hosted on IPFS; users must manually cancel their listings and withdraw their NFT assets.
According to official data, the AINFT platform has officially surpassed 700,000 users. The continuously growing user base—combined with the ongoing iteration and enhancement of its AI model capabilities—is accelerating AINFT’s emergence as one of the leading AI platforms in the Web3 space. Currently, AINFT has opened access to production-ready AI models for users and fully supports the execution of on-chain automated workflows, enabling an ultra-fast closed loop from creative conception to on-chain implementation. Leveraging its rapidly expanding community and open technical architecture, AINFT will continue lowering the barriers to Web3 AI adoption, empowering more innovative applications to deploy efficiently.
According to an official X (Twitter) announcement, starting today, the original AINFT official account will transition to B.AI. The B.AI brand focuses on advancing Agent Finance—enabling AI Agents to autonomously perform tasks such as fund management, trade execution, and yield optimization—thereby granting AI genuine financial autonomy while accelerating the technical realization of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). To ensure a smooth community transition, the rebranding will be implemented in phased upgrades, avoiding disruptions from an abrupt, all-at-once switch. During this process, AINFT will continue operating as a core sub-brand within the B.AI ecosystem. All AINFT-related content, technological updates, and community activities will migrate to the new channel @AINFTcom (https://t.me/AINFTcom).
