HTX will open WIF (dogwifhat) trading on January 11, 2024, at 19:00 (GMT+8).

WIF takes full advantage of the Dogwifhat meme – made famous by big Gamers – and soars within a few days of launch – jumping over 100% in a day.
Meanwhile, the newly upgraded meme coin Sponge V2 also looks set to make its holders gains.
Dogwifhat Takes Off with Strong Gains
$WIF went live on the Solana blockchain on December 18th, carrying an initial market cap of $100 million before doubling to over $220 million today. The surge began on the 20th when $WIF’s trading price bounced off of $0.105 to reach an ATH (all-time high) of $0.3313 by the 22nd.

According to CoinMarketCap, it corrected to $0.2286 before climbing past $0.25, at the moment of writing.

Dogwifhat took shape as early as November 2019 when (now retired) professional Fortnite player, Issa “Issa” Rahim, changed his X (Twitter) profile image to the famed Shiba Inu dog – except it wore a hand-knit beanie.
A commenter with the handle @Vapurly (who is currently suspended) wrote under the image “Dogwifhat”. By the 20th, Fortnite Streamer, Vraxito changed his profile picture to the same image, and Issa tweeted in response “dogwifhat taking over”.
And indeed it was, with more and more high-profile gamers propelling the trend. Leading eSports organizations like Rogue, G2 Esports, and Cloud9 also hopped on the trend as well as popular American YouTuber, Keemstar.
Thus the meme was born and, most importantly, customisable – with different hats and styles sitting atop the Shiba Inu, per profile.

$WIF takes advantage of Solana’s high-performing network – known for its incredible speed, handling up to 65,000 transactions per second. Its PoS (Proof of Stake) consensus boasts tremendous efficiency, and with efficiency comes low transaction fees.
Another meme coin currently making waves is Sponge V2, the upgraded version of the Sponge token which saw huge gains last year.
Sponge V2 Set to be Bigger than Ever
$SPONGEV2 is the latest offering from the vibrant $SPONGE meme coin community. Meme coin enthusiasts might recall $SPONGE V1’s remarkable journey, as it soared from a $1 million valuation at its inception to an impressive market capitalization exceeding $100 million in the spring of 2023, netting early investors huge gains.
Despite $SPONGE’s subsequent decline, its appeal remains strong. The token currently maintains a base of more than 11,000 token holders and has secured listings on several prominent exchanges, including MEXC, Gate.io and Poloniex.

The team is set to introduce a Play-to-Earn game, potentially drawing in new investors. $SPONGEV2 securing spots on platforms like Binance and OKX could significantly elevate the value of the token, resulting in substantial returns.
With the meme token running on the Ethereum network, it boasts robust speeds and is in line to take advantage of ETH’s potential gains in the coming months.
You can buy $SPONGE with ETH, USDT or Card, then stake that V1 token in order to bridge to the Sponge V2 smart contracts. If you’ve been a long-term holder of the V1 token, be aware that once you stake them they’re irrevocably locked.

But the more tokens you stake, the more V2 you earn, and if you missed Sponge’s famous 100x pump a few months ago, then you probably won’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
There are 16,800,916,140 tokens remaining, so now’s the time to take advantage of the presale. You can keep up to date with the latest developments of the project via their X, Telegram, and Discord.

Access to Active Sessions Instead of Databases: How the Shadow Market in Russia Has Changed

The Russian cybercriminal underground is shifting from selling massive, stolen corporate databases to trading active, short-term access to user accounts, according to a 2026 report. The value of information intercepted directly from infected devices by malware has risen nearly 13% in a year. Attackers now sell packets containing active session tokens (bypassing passwords and two-factor authentication), live email credentials, VPN and cloud storage logins, and corporate network access. A subscription for a steady stream of fresh data costs $250-$300 per month, far exceeding the value of outdated archives. While Russian regulators have successfully penalized companies for data leaks from centralized storage—with no repeat violations recorded after imposing turnover fines—this framework fails against the new threat model. Malware now steals data *after* it leaves the corporate perimeter and is on a user's personal device, a legal grey area. In 2026, 60% of studied web attacks aimed to steal keys for infiltrating corporate infrastructure. The situation mirrors global trends, akin to the Genesis Market shutdown in 2023, and highlights a structural risk: the demand for "fresh" data incentivizes botnet operators to maintain long-term control of infected devices for recurring revenue. This creates a persistent vulnerability layer between personal devices and corporate networks, currently outside the reach of existing regulatory protections.

SlowMist Flags Fake Qwen 3.8 27B GitHub Repository Concealing StealC Information

SlowMist has identified a fake GitHub repository impersonating Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 27B AI model, which contains an information-stealing virus. The repository, created in August 2026, offered a download file of only 487 KB, far smaller than a legitimate 27-billion-parameter model (over 16 GB). The malicious ZIP file contained a Lua-based script disguised as a certificate, which deploys the StealC malware. Once executed, StealC harvests system data, takes screenshots, and steals browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet information, and more, sending it to attacker-controlled servers. The malware also includes a backup system that can read new server addresses from the Polygon blockchain if the primary server is taken down. This incident is part of a broader campaign called FakeGit, active since March 2025, which has created thousands of malicious repositories. Approximately 800 of these specifically target AI tools using a method called AgentBaiting, sometimes tricking AI assistants into recommending them. Separate reports detail hundreds of other fake GitHub repositories spreading malware like BoryptGrab and campaigns like Megalodon that generate thousands of clones rapidly. Attackers copy legitimate projects, create convincing documentation, and even list them on public AI registries to appear trustworthy. The fake repositories exploit the high demand for open-source AI capabilities, putting users who run models locally at significant risk of data theft.
