According to a report by The Paper, it has recently been reported that Tencent has officially sent a complaint letter to GitHub (the world's largest code hosting and collaboration platform), requesting the removal of a batch of open-source projects that "allow users to export or analyze their WeChat chat records." Among them, some project leaders who are more concerned have publicly stated that, under legal pressure, the projects have been forced to cease maintenance.In response, Tencent stated that some open-source projects that read WeChat chat records have cracked the local database keys through reverse engineering of the WeChat client, bypassing the encryption measures of the WeChat client, which threatens the data privacy and client security of users and third parties, and can easily be exploited by black and gray industries.

According to Caixin, starting from January 1, the balance of digital RMB wallets will begin to accrue interest. It is reported that its smart contracts are different from the "on-chain" smart contracts known for being built on blockchain due to Ethereum. Senior digital RMB experts point out that digital RMB is not built on blockchain, but rather based on a newly designed account system, where the central bank and commercial banks jointly maintain "the same ledger." By loading "smart contracts that do not affect the monetary function," digital RMB achieves programmability, supporting features such as targeted payments and automatic execution.In addition, Caixin also disclosed that only real-name authenticated digital RMB wallets can accrue interest, meaning that Type I, II, and III wallets can earn interest, while Type IV non-real-name wallets do not earn interest (as the ownership of Type IV wallets cannot be confirmed). After January 1, mobile banking apps from participating operating banks, as well as payment platforms like WeChat and Alipay, will gradually gain the authority to open digital RMB wallets.

"# The Differences Between Digital Renminbi and WeChat/Alipay" topped Baidu's trending search list.According to Baidu's trending search analysis, starting from January 1st, the balance in the digital renminbi wallet will earn interest like a demand deposit. The interpretation of the differences between digital renminbi and WeChat/Alipay is: digital renminbi is money, equivalent to directly paying merchants with a form of electronic cash; WeChat and Alipay are wallets, where money is taken from the wallet to pay merchants.

Binance co-founder He Yi posted on the X platform that her rarely used WeChat was hacked early this morning. Some users who viewed her Moments and WeChat messages blindly bought a meme coin due to their trust in her and incurred losses. She personally will allocate BNB to airdrop to users who traded this meme coin using Binance's non-custodial wallet and the Alpha platform during the time her WeChat was hacked and experienced absolute losses. The airdrop will be completed within 24 hours.She, the official Binance account, and Binance employees will not recommend any meme coins, as such content lacks long-term viability and the tokens have no price support. She hopes everyone pays attention to discerning online information and engages in responsible investment behavior, as there will be no similar subsidies in the future.

Binance co-CEO He Yi posted on social media that his personal WeChat account has been recovered. He currently suspects that the perpetrator continues to add him as a friend under the pretense of providing feedback and seeking help, using external verification to change the password.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, analyzed the "He Yi WeChat account theft" incident, stating that this account theft likely occurred because hackers took control of a user's long-abandoned phone number, thereby taking over the identity infrastructure linked to the WeChat account. Another common risk is social engineering attacks involving verification codes: after obtaining the leaked account password, hackers impersonate the user to request a 6-digit verification code from two of the user's frequently contacted WeChat friends, thus completing the account theft.Yu Xian pointed out that the prerequisites for the attack include matching account passwords from already leaked data and prior collection of information about the victim's frequently contacted friends (including users with whom there has only been interaction in group chats). Attackers often choose to execute their plans late at night, which is common in OTC scams targeting cryptocurrency users.He reminded users to be cautious when adding unfamiliar WeChat friends, to change their passwords in a timely manner, and to pay attention to various risk alerts from WeChat.

The total profit from this operation for the hackers is about 55,000 USD.

The Xinhua News Agency's WeChat public account forwarded a safety reminder announcement previously released by the WeChat Security Center: "Recently, the WeChat platform has received user complaints that some WeChat accounts are involved in organizing pyramid schemes, fraud, and other illegal activities within WeChat groups.Such behaviors disguise themselves under the pretense of national asset unfreezing, national policies and engineering projects, as well as blockchain virtual currencies, stablecoins, etc., using high returns as bait to lure users into joining WeChat groups. They encourage users within the group to invite others, post suspicious links to download fraudulent apps, engage in daily check-ins, meeting courses, and other brainwashing activities, ultimately leading to fraud. The aforementioned behaviors seriously infringe upon users' property rights."

The WeChat Security Center stated that it has recently received user complaints about certain WeChat accounts engaging in illegal activities such as organizing pyramid schemes and fraud within WeChat groups. Such activities disguise themselves under the pretense of national asset unfreezing, national policies, and engineering projects, as well as blockchain virtual currencies and stablecoins, using high returns as bait to lure users into joining WeChat groups. Within these groups, users are encouraged to invite others, post suspicious links to download fraudulent apps, engage in daily check-ins, attend meetings and courses, and other brainwashing activities, ultimately leading to fraud. These actions seriously infringe upon users' property rights.Once such behavior is discovered and verified, the platform will take action based on relevant national laws and regulations, as well as the "Tencent WeChat Software License and Service Agreement" and "WeChat Personal Account Usage Specifications," among other platform agreements and rules. Depending on the severity of the violations, related accounts will be subject to a tiered approach to handling, with repeated offenders potentially facing permanent login restrictions, and confirmed violating WeChat groups will have their group functions disabled.

The WeChat Security Center released the rumors trending in October 2025, with "Can π coins be exchanged?" ranking sixth.Netizens posted short videos claiming "Now the bank's service hall has started approving π coins." Upon verification, the video content was from a "π" type approval specialist window at a local service center, which has no relation to the rumored "π coins" and is a misinterpretation of the "π" type approval specialist window.The China Internet Joint Rumor Refutation Platform stated that "π type approval specialists" refer to advanced composite approval talents who possess professional approval knowledge in at least two fields and can integrate multiple areas of knowledge. "π coins" are a type of virtual currency based on blockchain technology, utilizing a unique mining method and centralized network architecture, abbreviated from the English Pi Network. In fact, many local internet police have issued risk warnings that free mining of "π coins" is a scam to sell users' personal information for financial gain.The China Internet Joint Rumor Refutation Platform also stated that the news about "π coins" being exchangeable for RMB is false. China Postal Savings Bank researcher Lou Feipeng stated that virtual currency is not real currency. The only legal institution for currency issuance in our country is the People's Bank of China, and virtual currencies like "π coins" are not issued by the People's Bank of China and have no exchange relationship with RMB.
