btcpay just told merchants to pull the plug, and bitcoin itself has nothing to do with it
#BTCPayServerUrgesOperatorsToShutDownInstances
hot wallets on some self hosted servers got swept last night. the founder says it looks like installs older than 2.4.2, their own 2.4.7 servers werent touched
worried side: an attacker logged in as admin and nobody knows how yet
calm side: keys sitting on a server were always the risk, the $BTC network is fine
what i watch is the post mortem. old version answer and this fades fast. if patched servers got hit, merchants start doubting self custody payments
my call, not one 2.4.7 box turns out hit, prove me wrong
