BTCPay Servers Vulnerable to Unauthorized Attackers
Bitcoin payment software BTCPay Server, used by businesses to accept Bitcoin payments, issued a warning to operators to switch off their servers on Sunday after reports of unauthorized attackers draining hot wallets connected to them. The project identified an attack vector targeting instances running version 2.4.1 or older, and urged users to update their software and report any affected servers to its security team. Some hosting providers have already shut down affected instances to prevent exploitation.
