🚨 Bitcoin Lightning wallets are being drained — and installing the security patch alone may NOT stop the attacker
LNbits has released emergency update 1.7.0 after attacks affecting its wallet software
The team warns that all earlier versions put funds at risk
But the most dangerous detail isn't just the vulnerability 👇
$BTC
🔐 Attackers may already hold valid wallet keys or funding-source credentials
Updating the software fixes vulnerabilities — it doesn't automatically revoke stolen access
LNbits operators are being urged to:
🔹 Upgrade to version 1.7.0 before restarting
🔹 Reset wallet keys and rotate funding-source credentials
🔹 Revoke old extension connections and replace exposed secrets
🔹 Move to a fresh server if compromise is suspected
⚠️ This is an LNbits software security incident, NOT evidence that Bitcoin $BTC or the Lightning Network itself has been compromised
The full exploit mechanism and total losses have not yet been disclosed
A patched server can still be unsafe if the attacker keeps the keys
For wallet operators, recovery means closing both doors — the software vulnerability AND the stolen credentials
