$2,000 Bitcoin bounty challenge may be impossible to crack due to server setup doubts.

A website called Steal My Bitcoin offers a $2,000 bitcoin prize for hackers who can exploit two critical PHP vulnerabilities to steal the bitcoin. Despite the challenge being live for over 17 hours, no one has claimed the bounty. An independent analysis suggests the server configuration might prevent the advertised PHP2Shell exploit from being accessible, possibly making the challenge unsolvable. While the PHP flaws are real and require patching, the challenge’s setup raises questions about whether the competition is fair or rigged.
