LNbits Urges All Operators to Shut Down Their Bitcoin Lightning Wallet Servers Amid Attacks

LNbits, an open-source Bitcoin Lightning wallet system, has urged all operators to immediately shut down their servers due to ongoing attacks exploiting a vulnerability in an unspecified extension. One operator reported a loss of approximately 0.023 BTC (2,285,545 satoshis) before the attack was halted. The project has not yet released a patch, but developers estimate fixes will be available within 24–48 hours. The attacks began over three hours before the initial warning, and the exploited extension has not been publicly identified.
