Lightning Node Breach Exposed | Bitcoin and Crypto News
Description
Bitcoin’s Lightning Network just got hit hard—hackers exploited a BTCPay Server flaw to steal funds from merchants using LND nodes by grabbing .macaroon credentials, which act like master keys to their payment channels. Major players like Foundation and Citadel21 confirmed breaches, forcing them to shut down channels and lose funds. The Bitcoin Red Team found and reported the bug, but attackers were already exploiting it before public warnings went out. BTCPay urges immediate action: update to version 2.4.2 or shut down servers entirely to protect your Bitcoin.
