LNbits has released a critical patch to address security vulnerabilities after attackers drained funds from user wallets, including one report of 0.023 Bitcoin being stolen.
A wave of attacks on LNbits Lightning wallet installations led to stolen funds, with one user reporting about 0.023 Bitcoin taken, and the project pulled its hosted servers offline. Security incidents at wallet software providers tend to weigh mildly on sentiment toward Bitcoin, but the disclosed losses are tiny and LNbits is self-hosted software, so no meaningful price effect is likely.
Bitcoin Lightning wallet platform LNbits has issued an emergency update to version 1.7.0 following a series of attacks that resulted in stolen funds. The project, which supports approximately 200,000 self-hosted installations, urged operators to reset credentials and wallet keys, noting that the vulnerability affected all versions prior to the latest release.
