BuiltByBit
Temporarily offline on 21 Oct 2026 11:08:47 (UTC+00:00)
In progress
We've taken BuiltByBit offline for the next few hours as a precaution.
A serious security vulnerability affecting PHP (the language a huge chunk of the web runs on, including us) is currently spreading around. A number of other big websites have already gone offline over it, and an official fix from the PHP team is expected within the next few hours.
To be clear, nothing is wrong with BuiltByBit. Our systems are secure and haven’t been compromised. We’ve applied every mitigation available so far and have been monitoring closely from the start, so your account, purchases and data are all safe.
We’re doing this purely out of an abundance of caution, because keeping you safe matters more to us than a few hours of uptime.
