The Cornerstone of Web3 Security: Follow Traditional Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities

While the Web3 sector is rapidly developing, the attention given to traditional cybersecurity vulnerabilities is relatively insufficient. There are two main reasons for this situation: first, the Web3 industry is still in its early stages, and relevant technologies and security measures are still being continuously improved; second, existing cybersecurity regulations have prompted Web2 companies to strengthen their own security infrastructure to minimize the likelihood of security incidents.

These factors have led to a greater focus on on-chain security and the security of the blockchain ecosystem itself in the current Web3 space, while there is a lack of sufficient awareness and attention to more underlying vulnerabilities, such as system-level vulnerabilities, browser vulnerabilities, mobile security, and hardware security.

However, it cannot be overlooked that Web3 is actually built on the infrastructure of Web2. If there are security vulnerabilities in the underlying layer of Web2, it would be catastrophic for the entire Web3 ecosystem and pose a significant threat to user asset security. For example, browser vulnerabilities or mobile vulnerabilities could lead to asset theft without the user's knowledge.

In fact, there have been multiple real cases of digital asset theft utilizing Web2 vulnerabilities. These cases involve various aspects such as Bitcoin ATMs, Chrome browsers, Microsoft Word, and Android systems, fully illustrating that the dangers of Web2 vulnerabilities to digital assets are real and their impact is quite extensive.

These vulnerabilities not only affect individual assets but also pose serious threats to exchanges, asset custody companies, and mining, among others. Therefore, it can be said that without the security of the Web2 foundation, the security of the Web3 field cannot be guaranteed.

Some security teams have recognized the importance of this issue and have begun to focus on researching underlying security. These teams consist of top security experts from around the world, possessing technical capabilities that cover the entire ecosystem of Web2 and Web3. They have identified multiple high-risk vulnerabilities in the products of well-known technology companies, as well as security vulnerabilities in several prominent Web3 ecosystems.

These security teams believe that security measures in the Web3 field cannot solely rely on single methods like code audits, but also require more security facilities, such as real-time detection and response to malicious transactions. They emphasize that security technology directly relates to user assets, and the ability for security research is also a reflection of a security company's level. As the saying goes, "Without knowing the attack, how can one know how to defend?" Only by deeply researching potential attack methods can better defense strategies be formulated.

In the future, these security teams will continue to expand their research on underlying security technologies and welcome exchanges and collaborations with industry peers, technical experts, as well as Web3 institutions, exchanges, and wallet providers with an open attitude, working together to enhance the security of the Web3 field.
