BTCPay Server tells operators to shut down after hot-wallet sweeps
AI summary
BTCPay Server, a self-hosted Bitcoin payment processor, is urging operators to shut down their instances after reports of hot-wallet sweeps. Operators were told to run ./btcpay-down.sh while the project investigates, but the alert did not identify affected versions or announce a patch. Merchants running BTCPay nodes face potential loss of funds, and the lack of version details or a fix raises uncertainty for Bitcoin payment infrastructure.
