🟠 LNbits releases emergency update after attack
📌 On November 10, LNbits, an open-source wallet and account platform on the Lightning Network, released version 1.7.0. This emergency security update addresses a vulnerability exploited in a series of attacks that began on November 8, resulting in unauthorized withdrawals from multiple accounts.
📌 One notable case was BitTipBot, a tipping service on Telegram, which reported that an attacker created a fake account and withdrew 2,285,545 satoshis (approximately 0.0229 $BTC ) between 09:22 and 14:00 UTC on November 8. The LNbits team warned that all versions prior to 1.7.0 are at risk of fund loss and urged users to upgrade before restarting their servers.
