LNbits Suspends Hosted Services Following Security Attacks

The Bitcoin payment and wallet platform LNbits has halted its hosted instances following a series of recent attacks. The project team has requested that all self-hosted server operators also suspend their activities immediately.

The security alert was issued after the discovery of vulnerabilities that require urgent fixes. As of now, there is no official timeline for the resumption of operations or the release of a stable security update.

GitHub records show that the latest available stable version dates back to September. A security-related change was integrated into the development environment on November 9, but this does not represent a definitive solution for users.

The LNbits ecosystem includes point-of-sale tools, donation buttons, and APIs for transactions via the Lightning Network. The interruption directly impacts the payment processing capacity and the functionality of wallets linked to the service.

Operators and users are now awaiting further guidance from the technical team to resume activities safely. The lack of a clear schedule for service restoration keeps the environment on high alert.
