BTCPay warns of actively exploited vulnerability that could drain funds
While the team said funds may be at risk, it is unclear how many users have been exploited or how much has been lost, if any.
"If you are unable to update right away, turn off your BTCPay Server to prevent unauthorized access until you can update," BTC Pay said.
Details surrounding the attack are also currently limited. The Block reached out to BTCPay Server for comment.
BTCPay Server is a free, open-source, self-hosted bitcoin payment processor that lets individuals and businesses accept bitcoin and Lightning payments directly with no fees or intermediaries. Launched as an alternative to BitPay, it has gained particular affection among Bitcoin maximalists.
The vulnerability comes on the heels of the Coldcard exploit affecting a popular brand of Bitcoin-only wallets that has led to at least $116 million in confirmed losses so far.
