INTERNET UNDER ATTACK

Episode notes
π The internet is facing a major cybersecurity crisis, and the consequences for cryptocurrency could be enormous.
In today's Daily Crypto Deep Dive, we investigate PHP2Shell, the critical software vulnerabilities that have triggered emergency security updates, government website shutdowns and millions of attempted cyberattacks.
But here's the question nobody in crypto can afford to ignore: if hackers compromise the websites and infrastructure we use to access our digital assets, how safe are Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and our cryptocurrency wallets?
We examine the warnings from cybersecurity experts, the potential risks to exchanges and DeFi platforms, and the separate Railway security incident linked to suspected cryptocurrency theft.
We also explore how artificial intelligence is changing cybercrime, what analysts including Haseeb Qureshi and Taylor Monahan have highlighted, and whether this latest security crisis could damage confidence across the cryptocurrency market.
Most importantly, we explain the difference between hacking a blockchain and compromising the systems surrounding it β and what investors can do to protect themselves.
π Is decentralisation really protecting us, or are we still dangerously dependent on the traditional internet?
Thanks for listening, and we'll see you at the top!
