Lightning Network Security Breach | Bitcoin and Crypto News
Description
Lightning Network hit with a major security breach as attackers stole credentials from key nodes, draining funds from Foundation and Citadel21. BTCPay Server has shut down remote access for LND-based nodes to prevent further damage—payments still work, but external wallets can’t connect via their domains or Tor until it’s safe. The fix? Upgrade to version 2.4.2, which auto-regenerates macaroon credentials. If you manage your own access routes, rotate credentials manually. This underscores that even Bitcoin’s ecosystem software is vulnerable—stay vigilant, update often, and watch for suspicious activity.
