Cloudflare CEO Warns PHP Vulnerability Drawing Millions of Exploit Attempts

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of PHP as a behind-the-scenes language that helps many websites work — including some cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet services. When a serious security flaw is found in something this widely used, it is like discovering that a common type of door lock has a defect that burglars already know how to exploit. Cloudflare, which acts like a security guard for a large portion of the internet, is reporting that attackers are already trying to break in through this flaw millions of times. For crypto users, this is a reminder that the security of your funds does not depend only on blockchain technology itself but also on the security of the websites and services you use to access your crypto.
