LNbits asked all users to stop their servers after reporting a wave of attacks targeting the Bitcoin payment and wallet-account platform. The shutdown can interrupt payments, checkout, and tipping services while operators await security fixes and clear restart guidance.

As of November 9, stable version v1.6.2, released on September 18, remained the latest version available on GitHub and had not been confirmed as a security fix. Stronger request protections and the disabling of new-account creation by default were merged into the development branch, but no public restart clearance had been announced.
