🚨 LIGHTNING WALLETS UNDER ATTACK!
LNbits releases an emergency patch after attacks led to Bitcoin theft.
The LNbits platform, used to manage wallets and payment services on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, is facing a serious security alert.
On November 8, the team urged users to immediately shut down their servers while it investigated attacks on LNbits installations. The attackers allegedly created accounts without authorization and withdrew funds.
One affected operator reported losing approximately 0.023 BTC. However, there is still no confirmed overall figure for the losses.
On November 10, a response arrived: LNbits released version 1.7.0, a critical update. All previous versions are flagged as vulnerable.
But updating is not enough if credentials have already been compromised. The team also recommends changing wallet keys, renewing credentials, and, if an intrusion is suspected, migrating to a new server.
An important clarification: this is not an attack on Bitcoin or on all Lightning wallets. The issue affects vulnerable LNbits installations.
Are we seeing another sign that the security of crypto infrastructure can be just as important as protecting the funds themselves?
