X warns that PAID's official website is not secure.

What's this about?

According to Odaily's report, it appears that when accessing or sharing links to the official PAID website via Platform X, users see a security warning message stating "Website is not secure". X states general conditions of the system alerting them that potentially vulnerable links may involve phishing, malware or spam, or may violate platform policies. However, X explains that links can also be misclassified:

What is an X Warning and Why Is It Important?

X is a social platform that many users use to follow the news of digital projects, so X's alerts are not only technical indicators but also signals readers see before clicking or sharing.

For the average user, phishing is the spoofing of a link or web page to trick you into filtering information; malware is an unwanted program or file that may be transmitted through the Web; and spam is content or links labeled as inappropriate or annoying.

When the system warns that PAID's official website is "not secure", users must distinguish between a vulnerability detected by the platform and an admission of malicious intent.

Impact on Thai users and cross-border users

In the Thai context, people who buy and sell crypto through platforms licensed by the Thai CPC such as Bitkub often use baht or THB accounts as fiat currency for deposits or withdrawals. However, the website of a PAID-related project or service is separate from the exchange market.

X's warnings may therefore cause users to hesitate before clicking on a PAID-related link, checking project information, or asking additional questions before making any transaction related to the services of the PAID.

For cross-border users, including those in Myanmar who may be accessing information through social media and links, seeing a warning on an X can increase the risk that a user will mistakenly think their website has been hacked or is fake. Conversely, the same alert could help warn users not to type important data into potentially falsified web pages.

Understand that this warning doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.

A key point from Odaily's report is that X opens a channel where links may have been misclassified. The platform's automatic alert system often takes into account many factors such as share history, user reports, redirected links, platform policies and domain security signals.[citation needed]

Therefore, the appearance of a warning on PAID's official website should be regarded as an "examination situation" rather than a conclusion that there is real danger or malicious intent.

What should a user look for before entering the PAID website?

Users can reduce confusion by comparing official data sources such as domain names declared by the PAID itself, project's official account, documents or project pages on trusted platforms and declarations from X.

If the user is going to make a PAID related transaction through an exchange-linked system, it should be verified that the link used is on the official domain and do not enter seed phrases, passwords, or personal information from web pages entered via links in posts or chats only.
