🚨 $IOTX & $TUT UNDER PRESSURE AS BTCPAY HACK DRAINS LND WALLETS! 💣

The LND vulnerability in BTCPay Server was exploited overnight, draining Lightning node wallets before the emergency v2.4.2 patch landed. 🦈 This is a classic case of infrastructure risk hitting at the worst possible moment — right as the broader market is balancing on thin liquidity. 💥

For anyone running a node, the play is simple: update to v2.4.2 immediately and audit every channel balance. 🔍 With $IOTX and $TUT trading in sensitive zones, expect volatility spikes as capital rotates toward safer custody options. 📊

I'm watching for liquidity sweeps on any bounce attempt — hacks like this often create sharp wicks before structure resets. 💬 Are you updating your nodes now, or waiting for the exploit to find you first? 👇

⚠️ Not financial advice. Always manage your risk. 🛡️

Critical vulnerability in BTCPay Server is already being exploited: attackers gain access to LND node credentials and can withdraw funds from Lightning channels, while the vulnerability itself is in BTCPay—not in LND or Bitcoin—developers urge to update immediately to v2.4.2 or disable the server

For BTC this is not a fundamental threat to the protocol, but it is a serious blow to self-hosted Lightning infrastructure—especially because the stolen credentials after the patch should be considered compromised; the market can survive such a bug, but a forgetful node operator—maybe not
