LNbits, open-source software used to operate wallets on the Lightning Network, asked all users to shut down their servers on November 8, 2026, following several reports of unauthorized fund withdrawals. Attackers reportedly created new accounts on LNbits instances and then drained funds. The public BitTipBot case, operated by KevinR4v, involved the loss of approximately 2,285,545 satoshis, or 0.0229 BTC, over a roughly five-hour period. The operator has pledged to reimburse affected users, but the funds remain inaccessible until security patches are applied. LNbits expects to release several updates within 24 to 48 hours of the warning, with no confirmed link to the fixes simultaneously released by Electrum and Core Lightning.
