🚨 Security Alert: BTCPay Server restricts Lightning access after critical exploit
One of the most widely used Bitcoin payment servers by merchants and open-source projects, BTCPay Server, had to strengthen its Lightning Network access controls after detecting a critical exploited vulnerability.
🔐 Why does this matter?
BTCPay Server is the backbone of thousands of businesses that accept BTC without intermediaries. Any security breach highlights a topic the crypto community cannot ignore: self-custody also demands constant maintenance.
📌 Lessons for everyone using crypto daily:
Keep your node or wallet software always updated
Do not assume that "open-source" = "invulnerable"
Closely follow official announcements from the projects you use
This type of incident reminds us that security in crypto is an active process, not a fixed state. 🛡️
