Originally reported November 11, 2026, at 09:29 (UTC+8). Citing an official LNbits announcement, Odaily reported that the Bitcoin Lightning wallet platform had released version 1.7.0 after a theft attack and urged users to update. LNbits warned that the vulnerability affected all earlier versions.
An update alone will not protect users whose credentials have already been exposed, LNbits said. It recommended resetting wallet keys and changing related credentials, and advised moving to another server if a server compromise is suspected.
LNbits founder Ben Arc said the team was working to respond after users and the team suffered losses. Separately, one user reported that an attacker created a new account on their LNbits instance and stole approximately 0.023 BTC. That account-specific claim is a user report, not a confirmed total for the attack.
