CZ urges caution when visiting websites: what should crypto users watch out for?
What worries me more is this: something goes wrong with a website you know, and you keep clicking “confirm” out of habit.
On October 21, PHP released fixes for two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Attackers may be able to execute code on unpatched website servers without logging in.
In the crypto space, one risk worth guarding against is this: a website is compromised, its pages are altered, and then fake airdrop, wallet upgrade, or verification prompts appear, tricking you into handing over account details or your seed phrase—or signing a dangerous authorization. There is another risk behind the scenes: data accessible to the server, such as sessions and credentials, may be exposed, affecting accounts and platform services.
This is an analysis of how the risk could spread. It does not mean that any particular exchange has been compromised, nor does it mean that simply opening a webpage will inevitably lead to lost funds. My view is that the market impact will depend on whether specific platforms later disclose damage, service outages, or financial losses. The vulnerability news alone is not enough to predict what will happen to prices.
For the next few days, follow a few simple rules:
① Avoid unnecessary interactions. Don’t claim airdrops through direct messages, ads, or unfamiliar links.
② If a webpage suddenly urges you to “upgrade security” or “verify your wallet,” stop. Never enter your seed phrase on a webpage, and don’t download patches from pop-ups. Update your browser and wallet through official channels.
③ Before signing, check the action, the recipient of the authorization, and the amount. If you don’t understand it, cancel. Even with a hardware wallet, verify the details on the device screen.
④ If you’ve made a suspicious authorization, check it through your wallet’s official channel. Disconnecting from a website does not automatically revoke existing token approvals.
Those who operate websites also need to complete the PHP security upgrade and check for intrusions. Updating a few WordPress plugins is not enough to consider the issue resolved.
Recognizing a domain name only means you’ve visited it before. What it asks you to enter, download, or sign today is what you should pay closer attention to.
