BTCPay Server warns of hot wallet thefts, urges shutdowns
BTCPay Server issued an emergency shutdown warning after reports of attackers draining bitcoin from hot wallets connected to outdated software versions. The founder linked the compromises to versions older than 2.4.2, while newer versions like 2.4.7 appear unaffected.
Why it matters: Users running older versions of BTCPay Server are advised to shut down their servers to prevent potential fund loss from hot wallet thefts.
