Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet LNbits releases version 1.7.0 following attack

According to an official announcement from LNbits, Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet platform LNbits has released version 1.7.0 following a recent attack in which funds were stolen, and is urging users to update immediately. LNbits warned that the vulnerability affects all earlier versions; upgrading alone cannot protect users whose credentials have already been compromised, and it recommends resetting wallet keys, changing related credentials, and migrating servers if server compromise is suspected. LNbits founder Ben Arc stated that the team is working to respond after users and the team suffered losses. Some users have reported that attackers exploited their LNbits instances to create new accounts and stole approximately 0.023 BTC.
