In August 2021, Alibaba launched an NFT copyright marketplace with the support of the Sichuan provincial government. With it, independent musicians, writers, developers, and other professionals can sell copyrights to their content to third parties. NFTs issued based on New Copyright Blockchain are used for this.

In November 2021, analysts reported that hackers exploited a vulnerability in Alibaba’s server configuration systems, enabling them to launch anonymous Monero cryptocurrency mining on cloud-based facilities.
