LNbits has issued an urgent security alert asking all users to immediately shut down their servers after multiple attack incidents that led to significant fund loss.
LNbits urges immediate server shutdown
An operator identified as @KevinR4 reported that attackers created newly created accounts and withdrew funds, resulting in the theft of 2,285,545 sats over nearly five hours. He pledged to compensate affected BitTipBot users but said the impacted funds remain inaccessible until the underlying vulnerability is fixed.
LNbits warned that a security patch is expected within 24–48 hours and asked users to forward the warning to anyone running LNbits instances. Reports also noted the incident could have implications for altcoins and influence the Fear & Greed Index.
