🚨 LATEST UPDATE 🚨
A significant security flaw in BTCPay Server has targeted Bitcoin Lightning nodes. Attackers exploited a vulnerability to access LND ".macaroon" credential files, allowing them to take control of nodes and sweep funds from channels.
Major entities, including hardware-wallet maker Foundation, reported their Lightning nodes were drained via this exploit. While standard on-chain wallets in BTCPay remain unaffected, anyone running LND software is urged to update to version 2.4.2 immediately or take servers offline to prevent loss. This incident highlights ongoing infrastructure risks within the Bitcoin ecosystem. 🛡️
