Odaily News: Bitcoin News stated on the X platform that ZEUS has temporarily taken its infrastructure offline following a cybersecurity incident over the past few hours. ZEUS said the attack has been mitigated and services will remain offline until it completes a full security audit and resumes operations.
ZEUS stated that no customer funds have been lost, and no customer funds are currently at risk. Customers whose Lightning Service Provider channels were closed will receive replacement channels once services are restored.
Based on the current investigation, ZEUS said the incident appears to be limited to its own infrastructure, with no evidence yet suggesting it was caused by a vulnerability in Lightning node software. ZEUS added that it has been strengthening its infrastructure using trusted execution environments and the Validating Lightning Signer project, noting that the project is designed to mitigate such attacks in its upcoming architecture.
ZEUS said it will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses.
